The education verification service market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.08 billion in 2024 to $1.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the growing demand for compliant recruitment practices, the increasing globalization of the workforce, the rising adoption of digital verification technologies, a greater emphasis on risk mitigation in talent acquisition, and the increasing regulatory requirements for education verification.
The education verification service market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.08 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising global student mobility, growing partnerships between institutions and verification providers, increased automation in HR processes, the growing adoption of digital verification technologies, and the rise of remote and cross-border hiring. Key trends expected during this period include innovations in digital credentialing platforms, the use of advanced analytics for fraud detection, integration with global academic databases, advancements in real-time data access, and the integration of blockchain technology for secure credential verification.
The rising demand for remote work and online learning is expected to drive the growth of the education verification service market. Remote work refers to a flexible working arrangement where employees perform their tasks from locations outside of a traditional office, while online learning involves educational programs delivered over the internet, allowing students to study from any location. Technological advancements facilitating seamless communication and resource access have made remote work and online learning increasingly popular, providing greater flexibility to balance professional or academic responsibilities with personal life. These growing trends have significantly increased the need for secure education verification services to validate academic credentials, ensuring the authenticity of qualifications in virtual settings. For example, a February 2023 report by the Office for National Statistics (UK) showed that between September 2022 and January 2023, 16% of working adults were exclusively working from home, and 28% were working both from home and commuting. Additionally, a January 2024 report from Eurostat indicated that 30% of European Union internet users aged 16 to 74 participated in online courses or accessed online learning resources, marking a two-percentage-point increase from 28% in 2022. Thus, the growing demand for remote work and online learning is fueling the expansion of the education verification service market.
Major companies in the education verification service market are increasingly focusing on the development of advanced solutions, such as blockchain-based platforms for academic credential verification, to enhance the security, transparency, and efficiency of the verification process. A blockchain-based academic credential verification system is a secure, decentralized platform that uses blockchain technology to issue and verify tamper-proof digital credentials, enabling instant authentication by employers or other entities without the need for intermediaries. For instance, in September 2024, Data Vault Holdings Inc., a US-based technology firm, launched VerifyU, a real-time academic credential verification platform. This platform uses blockchain to overcome the inefficiencies and fraud risks of traditional verification methods, ensuring data integrity, reducing verification time, and cutting costs for students, educational institutions, and employers.
