The report is the most extensive analysis of learning business process outsourcing 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 industry is showing early signs of a shake out. There is a pronounced level of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity and signs of disintermediation in the middle, 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 new 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 highly customized open source, simulation, game-based learning, and mobile learning services to SMB buyers will have higher profit margins," adds Adkins.
