The study "Professional eLearning Services in France" conducted between May and July 2010 with a panel of major eLearning suppliers has just been published: the French eLearning market remains small, but its growth rate is opening up many prospects.

The study made it possible to collect large amounts of quantitative (in 2008, 2009 and 2010) and qualitative (transcripts) data from approximately thirty major eLearning suppliers. The data focuses on activities (content, technology, and services), customer segments, personnel, and more.

Main findings :

• First, the French market remains small with 115 million Euros in 2009 and 144 million in 2010; however, it is growing steadily: 15% between 2008 and 2009 and a 25% increase anticipated between 2009 and 2010.
• It is a market made up primarily of content: ¾ of the market value goes to customized, off-the-shelf, and Serious Games content.
• The LMS segment is experiencing strong growth in volume limited by the drop in prices; however, it accounts for 21% of the market.
• Moreover, companies with more than 5,000 employees represent 60% of the market, and the study points out the new momentum of online SMEs.
• In keeping with these observations, the "average" profile of a supplier is not surprising: a small, independent entity earing an average of 3.5 million Euros in turnover and still managed by its founders.
