Competitive vendor landscape

The global higher education market is characterized by the presence of many international, regional, and local vendors providing digital hardware, software, and content solutions. This is to support online and blended forms of learning in the higher education sector. The largest number of providers are in the Americas and Europe with many new vendors sprouting up in the emerging markets of Asia. Large vendors, such as Apple, Adobe Systems, Blackboard, SMART Technologies (News - Alert), and Desire2Learn, dominate the market with a wide range of products. IBM, Cisco Systems, Skillsoft, and Pearson, are some of the other prominent vendors in the market.

According to Jhansi Mary, lead research analyst at Technavio for K12 and higher education research, "The market is highly competitive with local vendors finding it difficult to compete with the market leaders. As a result of this, international players are expected to grow during the forecast period by acquiring regional or local players."
