The language learning application market has experienced significant growth in the past decade, driven by rising globalization, increased demand for language learning applications, and a growing popularity of self-paced e-learning (Mkt Gain, 2023).
One key trend in the language learning application market is the expansion of mobile learning. Due to the increased usage of mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, language learning is becoming increasingly accessible, making it easy to learn a new language anywhere, anytime (Mkt Gain, 2023).
Many language learning apps are integrating advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing. These technologies are able to create personalized learning through adaptive and customizable content, intelligent and immediate feedback and enhanced learning experience and effectiveness (Mkt Gain, 2023).
There are more collaboration between language learning applications and educational institutions. As language learning platforms develop and improve, they are being integrated into institutional language course curricula, creating more hybrid learning models, and seamless transitions from traditional classrooms to digital language learning (Mkt Gain, 2023).
The unexpected eruption of COVID-9 lifted market shares for language learning applications. Due to the suspension of in-person socialization, travel and other interactive activities, individuals staying indoors created a significant but positive impact on e-commerce and digital learning activities. As academic institutions began to shift online, adult education emphasized on foreign language acquisition. Additionally, many simply tried to learn a new language as a hobby. A research study conducted by Duolingo found a 310% in foreign language learning during the pandemic (Business Research Insights, 2023).
