India Higher Education Industry Trends and Drivers:

India's higher education market is experiencing huge growth at present, influenced by various dynamic factors which continue to trigger growth in the sector. There are many factors contributing to such ascendancy, which mainly includes increased demand for a wide variety and quality education opportunities.

The Indian higher education market, for instance, has been poised for steady growth during the period 2025-2033, which is spurred primarily by the combination of the increasingly domestic and international demand for high-quality education. The further shift towards digital education and the continued availability of more flexible pathways are expected to broaden opportunities for students and institutions alike.
