Current Market Trends

The impact of BYOD is being felt across the education market, with vendors adopting different approaches to meet this growing phenomenon. Equally, the purchase decision-making criteria or added value sales opportunity when driven by a parent purchase can provide new opportunities for vendors.

In order to forecast future demand for computing devices in schools and manage the supply chain, understanding the total addressable market and penetration in schools is vital and
tracking the rate of change of the BYOD trend is key.

This report explores the growing trend in some world markets for a bring your own device (BYOD) approach to school computing equipment. BYOD in schools is a parent-funded purchase, as opposed to a school purchase. While this has been fairly common in private schools for many years, tightening education budgets are fuelling a more widespread movement.

As more schools employ this approach, the trend is beginning to impact how vendors tackle the education market. That’s because the channels used by parents can differ significantly from institutional sales. Equally, parents’ decision-making criteria, and the added value sales opportunity, can provide new opportunities for vendors.
