Digital transformation, hybrid work, gamification, and microlearning, as well as AI and automation, are currently driving the European corporate online training market. Increased emphasis on employee well-being is another major determinant affecting the changes in the sector. These trends are influencing how businesses approach employee training and development, and online training platforms are critical for meeting the ever-changing needs of the modern workforce.
In 2022, Europe accounted for approximately 30 per cent of the global corporate e-learning and online training industry, according to a Docebo analysis. It was estimated to be worth USD 40 billion, and with the government placing more emphasis on building robust broadband infrastructure, the sector is expected to experience enormous expansion. The increasing acceptance of smartphones and tablets, combined with the availability of mobile learning apps and platforms, has made on-thego learning possible and contributed significantly to this growth. Mobile learning allows employees to learn at their own pace and convenience, which is especially appealing to millennial and Generation Z employees.
