An analysis of the drivers explains the factors for growth of the market and includes expenditure on education, lucrative business opportunity, rise in number of students opting for foreign education, working parents with higher disposable income, Right to Education Act and infrastructural bottlenecks in formal education. As education in India is considered to be the only means towards betterment of one’s social status; spending on education has never taken a hit even in times of recession. Parents indulge in spending almost an equal amount of primary school fees in coaching classes to further their kids’ exposure and grooming. Owing to the absence of Government regulations, a successful coaching institute can hike program fees thus making it extremely lucrative from a business perspective. An increase in the number of students opting for foreign education has also led to enhanced demand for these classes. With a rising number of students looking at foreign shores for higher education, cracking entrance tests at such universities translate into rising demand for coaching institutes. Further, the Right to Education Act forbids teachers of government schools from taking private tuitions which creates room for coaching institutes to capitalize upon. Another factor that has led to the growth of this sector is that of a high incidence of working parents in a family. With both parents working, family income rises and increases the probability of education expenditure. Finally, the infrastructural bottlenecks in the formal education system with absence of quality teachers and proper syllabi will boost the coaching classes market. However, the sector is also facing certain challenges. Factors such as change in examination format are an impediment for this sector.

The major trends identified include online tutorial increasing base, coaching classes for beginners, coaching institutes foraying into formal education system, franchising mode of operation, introduction of package courses and increased PE activity.
