Digital learning platforms are experiencing significant growth and transformation, according to the 2024-2025 Enterprise Digital Learning Blue Book report by YXT.com and HR Excellence Center. The study, which surveyed 306 Chinese companies, reveals that enterprises are increasingly turning to digital learning tools to optimize talent development and training efficiency.
The global e-learning services market, valued at nearly $300 billion in 2024, is projected to grow at a 19% compound annual growth rate through 2030. This expansion is driven by rising demand for remote learning, technological advancements, and increasing internet penetration rates.
Key findings indicate that 75% of enterprises are expanding training coverage, with 63% reducing costs through digital learning platforms. The focus has shifted from leadership training to broader applications, including onboarding new employees and training basic-level managers. Companies are increasingly integrating online and offline training methods, utilizing a mix of internally developed and externally purchased course content.
Artificial intelligence is emerging as a critical component of digital learning strategies. Approximately 25% of surveyed enterprises have already implemented AI technologies, primarily for content generation and problem-solving functions. However, challenges remain, including compliance risks and employee engagement, with companies expecting digital learning to consume less than five hours weekly.
Despite overall digital learning budgets declining, enterprises are investing in content development and increasingly seeking external content providers and consultants. This trend presents significant opportunities for digital learning platform providers like YXT.com, which offers software-as-a-service, content solutions, and enterprise learning operation services to industry-leading companies.
The report suggests 2025 will be a pivotal year for enterprises developing clear digital learning strategies, with a growing emphasis on AI-supported content and flexible learning approaches that improve workforce skills and organizational effectiveness.
