DUBLIN, Feb. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

The "MOOC Market by Component (Platforms (XMOOC and CMOOC), Services), Course (Humanities, Computer Science and Programming, and Business Management), User Type (High School, Undergraduate, Postgraduate, and Corporate) and Region-Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The author expects the global MOOC market size to grow from USD 3.9 billion in 2018 to USD 20.8 billion by 2023, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 40.1% during the forecast period.

The MOOC market is growing rapidly with an increasing need for scalable and economical open education to help learners access education platforms locally and globally. However, the low completion rate of the courses would limit the growth of the market.

The postgraduate user type to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Postgraduate involves learning and studying for academic degrees, academic certificates, academic diplomas, or other qualifications for which a bachelor's degree is generally required and is part of MOOC. The organization and structure of postgraduate education varies from region to region. The digital aspect of the education has changed the landscape of the education system.

XMOOC platform type to be a larger segment of MOOC in 2018

XMOOC design is used on large MOOC platforms and is based on a format of minimal, asynchronous support, with a subject expert recording content and planning assessments, such as multiple-choice quizzes, programming assignments, or peer-review exercises for the student group to absorb the topic and learn the subject in detail and adjust themselves to the platform format at the time of choosing the platform.

The XMOOC approach allows the platform to repeatedly run the same classes throughout the year on a rolling recruitment basis, with the best performing students from the previous group asked to act as community teaching assistants for the upcoming group, thus providing forum moderation, technical support, and limited academic guidance.

MOOC market in Asia Pacific (APAC) to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The high growth of the MOOC market in APAC is attributed to the globalization, rapid economic developments, favorable government policies, and increasing digitalization in the region with the increasing interest of businesses toward technologies, such as BI, big data, and IoT. Rapid modernization and increased penetration of 4G mobile devices have accelerated the adoption of online surfers, ultimately leading to the growth of the MOOC market in APAC.

Major vendors have adopted various types of organic and inorganic growth strategies, such as new product launches, partnerships, and collaborations, to increase their offerings in the MOOC market. Companies such as Coursera, edX, Udacity, and FutureLearn are the market leaders of the MOOC market as of 2018, while companies such as iversity and NovoEd are expected to make a larger impact in the MOOC market during the forecast period.
