US Corporate Learning Services Market to Reach $9.8 Billion by 2012

Demand in vertical industries creates new revenue opportunities for suppliers.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) May 30, 2007

Ambient Insight today announced a new revenue forecast report on the 2007-2012 US Corporate Learning Services market. According to the report, the American corporate demand for education and training outsourcing is growing by 35.1% over the five-year forecast period.

The report is the most extensive analysis of learning business process outsourcing (BPO) ever released. The demand-side analysis includes revenue breakouts by ten vertical industry sectors and by company size. The supply-side analysis includes revenue forecasts by ten training subject matter areas and by eight learning technology types.

"There are lucrative revenue opportunities in the market, but tapping into these revenue streams is getting more challenging. The supply chain is getting very complex," commented Sam Adkins, Chief Research Officer.

The research data indicates early signs of a shake out. There is a pronounced level of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity and signs of disintermediation, but new suppliers continue to enter the market. Domestic grey market suppliers are tapping into revenue streams that used to flow to offshore suppliers.

The strongest demand is now coming from small and medium-sized (SMB) businesses in specific vertical industries. According to Adkins, "the current market is in a period of transition with nimble suppliers entering the market to meet the needs of these new buyers."

"Global services firms will earn healthy revenues in the enterprise for generic self-paced elearning services throughout the forecast period, but the smaller suppliers that offer open source content services, custom simulations, and mobile workforce and location-based services to SMB buyers will have higher profit margins," adds Adkins.
