The global massive open online courses (MOOC) market size reached US$ 17.8 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 143.4 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 25.3% during 2024-2032. The increasing need for cost-effective self-paced learning platforms, the ongoing gamification of MOOC platforms and the widespread adoption of remote learning by educational institutes, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, represent some of the factors driving the market.
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) represent a range of free web-based learning programs designed for teaching, training, and promoting active participation of geographically dispersed individuals by providing access to courses over the internet. They usually comprise various traditional teaching materials, including recorded or filmed video lectures, e-books, online quizzes, presentations, assessments, interactive learning modules, and forum interactions. These content materials are easily accessible through subscription-based or free login accounts. As compared to conventional training structure, MOOCs do not offer academic credits; instead, they provide an online certification to enhance the employment opportunity of a candidate. Apart from this, MOOCs are cost-effective, offer diverse subjects while ensuring no physical location dependence, flexible learning education, and enhanced career prospects. As a result, MOOCs are widely affiliated with educated institutions to teach multiple subjects to graduates, postgraduates, employees, and high school students.
The rising need for cost-effective and self-paced online learning platforms with multiple interactive content materials represent one of the key factors driving the massive open online courses market toward growth. In line with this, the widespread adoption of such teaching approaches by educational institutions, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, is acting as another major growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the extensive utilization of MOOC courses by employees and graduates for learning several business management skills, such as logistics, marketing, entrepreneurship, and leadership, is supporting the market growth. Such courses help hone multiple technical and intrapersonal attributes while providing comprehensive training, which, in turn, improves the career prospects of a potential candidate. This, along with the emergence of several online training platforms by key players and favorable initiatives being undertaken by governments in collaboration with course creators to launch intensive MOOC programs and boot camps are propelling market growth. Furthermore, the advent of knowledge systems and learning applications and the large-scale integration of these platforms with blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, quantum computing, and mixed reality (MR) to offer better learning experiences are favoring the market growth. Apart from this, rapid digitalization and shifting consumer inclination toward MOOC over typical educational training are creating a positive outlook for the market. Other factors, such as increasing penetration of internet and a rising number of smartphone users, are also driving the market toward growth.
