With the rapid advancement of technology and the internet, online education platforms offer a wide range of courses and programs that cater to the diverse needs and interests of learners.

As the country's economy expands, more individuals have the means to invest in their education and seek opportunities for personal and professional growth. Online education offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional education, making it accessible to a larger segment of the population. In conclusion, the Online Education market in Peru is experiencing growth and development due to customer preferences for convenience and flexibility, trends in professional development and language learning, local special circumstances such as a young and tech-savvy population, and underlying macroeconomic factors such as economic growth and stability.

    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.
