Social and emotional learning pertains to how individuals, primarily children and adolescents, acquire and effectively use the knowledge, attitudes, and skills required to handle emotions, empathize with others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make reliable decisions. The social and emotional learning market comprises various stakeholders, such as educational institutions, software, service providers, teaching communities, students, and policymakers, who provide and utilize SEL programs and resources. Potential demand attributed to improving the education sector's capabilities and increasing penetration of digital education at school and college levels is driving the market growth. Favorable governmental initiatives associated with social and emotional well-being fuel market expansion. High capital investments coupled with required infrastructure facilities and Limited teaching professionals to manage social & emotional learning solutions restrict market growth. Additionally, there is potential growth by introducing novel social & emotional learning solutions to customize SEL learning and track student progress. The rising need for self-management in education, along with office platforms, is also creating significant opportunities in the market.
