    Analyst Opinion

    The Online University Education market in EAEU is experiencing significant growth and development.

    Customer preferences:
    Customers in the EAEU region are increasingly turning to online university education for a variety of reasons. One key factor driving this preference is the convenience and flexibility that online education offers. Students can access lectures and course materials at any time and from anywhere, allowing them to fit their studies around work and other commitments. Additionally, online education provides access to a wide range of courses and programs, allowing students to pursue their specific interests and career goals.

    Trends in the market:
    One major trend in the Online University Education market in the EAEU is the increasing adoption of online learning platforms by traditional universities. Many universities in the region are now offering online courses and degree programs, recognizing the demand for flexible education options. This trend is driven by the need to reach a wider audience and stay competitive in the evolving education landscape. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift towards online education, as universities were forced to close their campuses and transition to remote learning.

    Local special circumstances:
    The EAEU region is characterized by its diverse population and vast geographic expanse. Online university education provides a solution to the challenges posed by these factors. Students in remote areas or those who are unable to relocate for traditional education can now access quality higher education from the comfort of their homes. This is particularly beneficial for individuals in rural or underserved areas, who may have limited access to educational institutions.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and represent what consumers pay for these products and services. The user metrics show the number of customers who have made at least one online purchase within the past 12 months.

    Modeling approach / Market size:

    Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on predefined factors for each market segment. 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.

    Forecasts:

    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.

    Additional notes:

    The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. GCS data is reweighted for representativeness.
