In recent times, the field of educational technology (EdTech) has emerged as a bright star, with a market value surpassing the $300 billion. This has triggered a powerful wave of educational transformation on a global scale. Notably, the United States, China, and India play pivotal roles in this entrepreneurial ecosystem, attracting substantial investment deals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In terms of annual compound growth rate, the Asia-Pacific region boasts the highest figure, with a predicted CAGR of 16.1% from 2023 to 2030 (<\/span>GrandViewResearch<\/span><\/a>). In Vietnam, artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR), etc. are gaining prominence as breakthrough factors, propelling rapid growth in the EdTech market. However, this growth is accompanied by challenges concerning project quality and investment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Global EdTech Market Overview:<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With a market value exceeding $300 billion in 2022, the EdTech industry is forecasted to reach $400 billion in 2023. It also anticipates a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 14% from 2023 to 2032 (EdTech Agency, 2023<\/a>). Othewise, some major EdTech companies worldwide have experienced less-than-promising revenue results, such as Coursera, Kahoot, and 2U (<\/span>Dealroom<\/span><\/a>, 2022).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The deteriorating business situation of these companies can be attributed to various factors, including staff layoffs, declining capital after inefficient investments and mergers, as well as governmental interventions and regulatory pressures. Despite these challenges, EdTech maintains growth potential due to the increasing demand for online education and workforce skill development (<\/span>Crunchbase<\/span><\/a>).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    In terms of market share, North America holds the highest revenue share globally, accounting for more than 36% of the market. This dominance is driven by abundant investment capital from EdTech-focused funds in the United States. Additionally, the Asia-Pacific region exhibits the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR), with a forecasted CAGR of 16.1% from 2023 to 2030 (<\/span>GrandViewResearch<\/span><\/a>). Furthermore, according to Rory Gopsill, an analyst at GlobalData, “Asia-Pacific is poised to become the world’s largest EdTech market by 2030.” This underlines the region’s remarkable potential in the field of educational technology.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. EdTech Market Overview in Vietnam:<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The EdTech market in Vietnam is estimated to reach about $3 billion in 2023 and is among the top 10 fastest-growing markets globally, projecting approximately 20.2% growth annually from 2019 to 2023 (<\/span>VietnamPlus<\/span><\/a>). Factors contributing to this growth include GDP growth rates, internet penetration rates, and education-related spending policies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Vietnam allocates 4.9% of its GDP to education, second only to Malaysia’s 5%, surpassing other ASEAN countries, including Cambodia (1.9%), Singapore (2.9%), and Laos (3.3%) (<\/span>VnExpress<\/span><\/a>). According to Bain & Company, the average Vietnamese family dedicates about 20% of their income to their children’s education, whereas the range in Southeast Asian countries is 6-15% (<\/span>VnEconomy<\/span><\/a>).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Moreover, with 77.93 million users and an internet penetration rate of 79.1%, Vietnam exhibits substantial potential for technology implementation in the education sector. Additionally, the government’s budget allocation for education and training in 2022 stood at over VND 55 trillion, constituting 16.6% of the state budget, marking a 49.2% increase compared to 2021 (<\/span>Vietnamnet<\/span><\/a>).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      EduSpace, Vietnam Investment Group, Northstar Group, ThinkZone Ventures, Do Ventures, RareJob, KKR, Antler, and Mekong Enterprise Fund III are notable investors in the Vietnamese EdTech market in recent years. Among them, Kaizen Investments stands out for investing $10 million USD into YOLA (a company providing English teaching services for adolescents) and $15 million USD into MindX<\/p>\n
