Learning and Development (L&D) remains an invaluable asset in every company’s organizational structure, with the constant need for upgrading employee skills, knowledge, and competencies. From AI-powered learning to gamified learning, today’s L&D platforms are propelling the industry forward by enabling learners to interact seamlessly with more personalized learning content. In the wake of these trends, the global learning and development market is expected to reach $3.65 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 4.3 percent.
The leading L&D trend driving the market growth is microlearning platforms. It is a flexible learning strategy that pivots from long classroom sessions to bite-sized learning modules that focus on specific learning objectives. Leveraging visual tools, such as instructional videos, animations, flashcards, and gamification, microlearning delivers fact-based learning bursts.
