Market Pitch

Video Editor market

The global Video Editing Software Market Size is big and growing. In 2021, the industry was worth USD 1.95 billion, and is projected to reach USD 3.24 Billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%.

In recent years, video editing software has gained tremendous popularity. More and more people are looking to create professional videos - especially educators! There are many different kinds of software that exist to satisfy this demand, and some services have carved out a niche for themselves by specializing in a particular style of video editing or with competitive pricing. However, there’s nothing on the market that caters specifically to online educators, with most existing platforms focusing only on video editing or the gaming industry. Teachers around the world are looking for new ways to create rich educational content, and Straights Research Reports identifies the EdTech Market as a key market for video editing software (2022)..

That’s where Chalkster comes in to satisfy this untapped market as a unique tool for Educators that would like to dive into the video editing/streaming market.

Video Conferencing market

The video editing software market is big, but the global video conferencing market is enormous. Projected to grow from $6.87 billion in 2022 to $14.58 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 11.3% (Fortune Business Insights), this market presents a tremendous growth opportunity.

Apps like Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Cisco are leading the way with many consumers, but Chalkster proposes to become a necessary education tool to use in tandem with these popular services.
