Digital Learning Gains Ground: Enterprise Training Evolves with Technology and Cost Efficiency

Digital learning platforms are transforming enterprise training, with 75% of companies expanding training coverage and 63% reducing costs through digital solutions, according to the 2024-2025 Enterprise Digital Learning Blue Book by YXT.com and HR Excellence Center.

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 growth is fueled by increasing demand for remote learning, technological advancements, and rising internet penetration rates.

Key trends include a shift towards using digital training for onboarding new employees and training basic-level managers, a departure from previous approaches that focused primarily on leadership development. Companies are increasingly integrating a mix of internally developed and externally purchased content, with an emphasis on business scenario applications.

Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly significant role, with approximately 25% of surveyed enterprises already applying AI technology in digital learning. Current AI applications focus on content generation and problem-solving functions, though compliance risks and cost-effectiveness remain implementation challenges.

Despite overall digital learning budgets declining, enterprises are investing in content development and seeking external content providers and consultants. This trend presents opportunities for digital learning platforms like YXT.com, which provide software-as-a-service, content solutions, and digital learning operational services.

The research suggests 2025 will be a pivotal year for enterprises developing clear digital learning strategies, with a growing emphasis on finding content partners that effectively leverage artificial intelligence to support talent cultivation.
