Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of online education as traditional educational institutions shifted to remote learning. This has further fueled the growth of the Online Education market in G7 countries. In conclusion, the Online Education market in G7 countries is experiencing significant growth and development due to customer preferences, market trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies, third-party studies and reports, as well as survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and internet connection speed. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

    In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, urban population, usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.
