If you look at the number of unicorn companies in the world, not just in the EdTech sector.According to CBinsights (as of January 6, 2020)Of these, 214 are in the United States, 101 in China, 22 in the United Kingdom, and 19 in India. Japan has 3 companies.
While the number of Chinese unicorn companies in all sectors is about 23% of the global total, the proportion in the EdTech sector is about 57%.We can see that the EdTech sector in China is growing much faster than the other sectors
Why is the EdTech market growing so much in China?
The reasons for this are as follows.
Cultural context in which education is important
There is a lot of competition in education, and education is very important to stay ahead of the competition. Families with preschoolers spend, on average, 26% of their household income onK-12They spend 20% of their income on education for the children of

Huge market
Approximately 20% of the world's population lives in China, and according to the Chinese government's announcement (January 17, 2020), the population will exceed 1.4 billion by the end of 2019. In addition, the one-child policy, which lasted for about 35 years, has been relaxed since 2016, increasing the factor of customer expansion. (Currently, the number of births is at an all-time low and has declined for three consecutive years, and the birthrate is declining and aging. Population is increasing.) Also raised is the increase in the middle class that is able to spend money on education.
Broad recognition of EdTech
There seems to be a strong common perception in Japan, including among VC [venture capitalists], that EdTech has a large market.
Strong government support
Almost every year since 2011, the Chinese government has increased its share of GDP spending on education. It has also provided a lot of support, including the creation of the 22-story MOOC Times building in Beijing's Zhongguancun dedicated to EdTech In 2017, Premier Li Keqiang set out to reform Chinese education by embracing technology for 2030.
Soil to nurture developers
Increase the number of creatorscustomer educationand the influence of young people known as "sea turtles" who have acquired cutting-edge knowledge and skills overseas and returned to China to play an active role in the country.
There are a variety of factors that may contribute to the above.
The Future EdTech Market
I hope you enjoyed this article. I talked about EdTech market in China this time, and I hope you could understand that the market is expanding rapidly. And it seems that the Chinese EdTech market will continue to develop.
I think that the cultural background, as well as the system of support that exists as part of national policy, is the driving force behind the creation of new educational services. Not only China, but also other countries that are focusing on e-learning and EdTech field will increase in the future. We will do our best to make Japan a leading EdTech country.
