A new revenue forecast report on the 2007-2012 US Corporate Learning Services market has been announced recently by Ambient Insight. This study shows that the American corporate demand for education and training outsourcing is growing by 35.1% over the five-year forecast period.
Sam Adkins, Chief Research Officer, stated: "There are lucrative revenue opportunities in the market, but tapping into these revenue streams is getting more challenging. The supply chain is getting very complex." The report is the most extensive study of learning business process outsourcing (BPO) ever released. The demand-side analysis includes revenue breakouts by ten vertical industry sectors and by company size. The supply-side analysis includes revenue forecasts by ten training subject matter areas and by eight learning technology types.
The research information shows early signs of a shake out. There is a pronounced level of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity and signs of disintermediation, but new suppliers continue to enter the market. Domestic grey market suppliers are tapping into revenue streams that used to flow to offshore suppliers.
Adkins added: "Global services firms will earn healthy revenues in the enterprise for generic self-paced elearning services throughout the forecast period, but the smaller suppliers that offer open source content services, custom simulations, and mobile workforce and location-based services to SMB buyers will have higher profit margins." The strongest request is now coming from small and medium-sized (SMB) businesses in specific vertical industries. According to Adkins, "the current market is in a period of transition with nimble suppliers entering the market to meet the needs of these new buyers."
