The research report titled, “Language Learning Market by Age Group (<18 years, 18-20 years, 21-30 years, 31-40 years, >40 years), Language (English, Mandarin, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese), End User (B2C, B2B), and Geography?Global Forecast to 2030”, provides an in-depth analysis of language learning market across five major geographies and emphasizes on the current market trends, market sizes, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts till 2030.

The global language learning market is projected to reach $120.5 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period of 2023–2030.

The growth of the language learning market is driven by globalization and the growing need for cross-border communication, minimal platform price of language learning applications, and increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in E-learning. However, the reluctance to accept English as a primary language for communication in some countries may restrain the growth of this market. Furthermore, the growing preferences for multilingual employees by multinational companies and increasing investments in start-ups and small companies teaching languages are expected to offer significant growth opportunities for the language learning market. However, the lack of trained professionals to teach language may hinder this market’s growth. Additionally, transnational education (TNE), flexible pricing structure, and enhancing language education through social robots are prominent trends in this market.

Based on age group, the global language learning market is segmented into <18 years, 18-20 years, 21-30 years, 31-40 years, and >40 years. In 2023, the <18 years segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global language learning market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the rising preference for interactive and engaging learning experiences, increasing demand for language skills to work and collaborate across borders, expanding higher education opportunities, and increasing need for immersive and practical language practice. However, the 18-20 years segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The growth of this segment is attributed to the growing need to enhance employability and competitiveness in job opportunities, the need for a deeper engagement with diverse cultures, history, and arts, and the growing need for study abroad enrichment.

However, the Mandarin language segment is projected to record the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The growth of this segment is attributed to the growing Chinese economy and trade relations. There has been a dramatic increase in students learning Mandarin worldwide, which amounted to an estimated 100 million in 2020 compared to 40 million in 2019. Moreover, with the rapidly changing global trade and economic scenario, Mandarin is becoming strategically important internationally.

Based on end user, the global language learning market is segmented into B2C and B2B. In 2023, the B2B segment is expected to account for the larger share of the global language learning market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the growing demand for language training platforms for individual learners, rising demand for language certification and exams, and increasing availability of user-friendly language learning apps, online courses, and interactive platforms. However, the B2C segment is projected to record the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The growth of this segment is driven by the increasing need for Industry-specific language skills to communicate effectively with international clients, partners, and markets; the growing need to enhance business communication; and the rising demand for language training for various organizations such as government, education, and private sectors.
