The on-premise deployment model held over 83% of the market share and will dominate the AI in education market share over the forecast timeline as it offers control over data and has a low maintenance cost, providing control over the data. This reduces the risk of data leakage and offers extra security for data protection in educational institutions.
 

Cloud deployment is estimated to grow significantly during the forecast period at a CAGR of over 52%. The cloud deployment mode offers cost-effectiveness for several applications such as Learning Management Systems (LMS) and virtual assistance. It reduces capital expenditure and provides automatic software updates and flexibility in the demand for bandwidth.
 

By Technology

Natural Language Processing (NLP) held more than 68% of the market share in 2017 and is anticipated to dominate the AI in education market share over the forecast timeline due to the increasing demand among educational institutions to enhance the assessment & curriculum processes. It processes the increasing available speech & text in electronic format from chat rooms, discussion forums, and peer-to-peer review system to enhance the overall educational process.
 

Deep learning is estimated to grow substantially with more than 53% CAGR over the forecast timeline. Deep learning offers hands-on training in AI and accelerates computing to solve real-world problems. An AI-based bot is expected to offer frontline tutoring assistance that will help learners to complete their assignments. Deep learning will analyze huge data sets of information related to education, which will enhance the student’s experience. Deep learning deploys several approaches including inductive logic programming, Bayesian network decision tree learning, clustering, and reinforcement learning to personalize & enhance the learning process.
 

 By Application

The Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) application segment is projected to grow with more than 50% CAGR over the forecast timeline due to the increasing demand to develop & test models of the cognitive processes involved in instruction and to provide sophisticated instructional advice on a one-on-one basis. This enhances student learning process through personalized courses and offers flexible learning period. It tracks a student’s progress that identifies any deviation from the model, which is further notified to students as an error. This enhances the learning environment with a focus on implementing analytical and experimental learning, which helps learners to attain a clear understanding of the concept.
 

The fraud & risk management segment held a significant market share in 2017 and is expected to maintain the artificial intelligence (AI) in education market share over the forecast timeline due to the growing demand from the BFSI industry to learn about the fraud & risk management. The rising number of frauds across the BFSI sector and the lack of skilled fraud & risk management personnel are propelling segment growth. The enterprises working in these sectors are providing training on fraud & risk management to their employees to improve the efficiency of AI deployment to reduce fraud risks.
 

By End-Use

The higher education segment held more than 51% of the AI in education market share in 2017 and is anticipated to dominate the market share over the forecast timeline. The market growth is attributed to the increasing demand among the administration of educational institutions to offer quicker and personalized admission process for the students. The advent of AI chatbots is expected to enhance the communication with prospective students, which will aid in the improvement of the prospective conversion rate for educational institutions. For instance, in May 2018, Google launched Google Duplex, which makes outgoing calls in a realistic human voice to perform low-level tasks such as scheduling a live counselor to call a prospect student and provide notes as to the nature of the conversation.
 

Corporate training is estimated to exhibit more than 51% CAGR over the forecast timeline. AI in corporate training offers unique learning methods, such as story-line based game courses, which enhance the efficiency of the course. Additionally, it helps the trainer to continuously monitor and track the learner’s progress, reducing the training gap in the course. It also supports the L&D department to create strategic sessions, such as face-to-face training, to enhance human interaction.
