Language instructors have faced significant headwinds since 2019. Competing language learning software programs has severely threatened enrolment at traditional language instruction centers, but instructors have preserved some demand by focusing their efforts on immigrant populations, international students and corporate clients. Commercial clients brought language instructors some relief as companies expanded overseas and invested in language training for executives, but recent economic instability and high interest rates have strained businesses' discretionary spending on language instruction. Unpredictable vacation plans led to unstable enrolment from consumers preparing for trips abroad, but solid immigration has support instructors as new Canadians seek to integrate with their communities by learning English or French. Revenue has slipped at a CAGR of 1.7% to an estimated $283.5 million over the five years through 2024 despite an expected 1.3% uptick in 2024 alone. Language instructors have faced intense competition, particularly amid the proliferation of language learning apps like Duolingo and Babbel. These competitors offer convenience and affordability, siphoning enrolment away from physical instruction centers. Large language instruction companies like Rosetta Stone have adapted to this competition by developing their own digital language teaching platforms, but many small businesses lack the resources for app development and haven't been able to remain viable. This heightened competition pressured language instruction centers to lower their prices, cutting into profit. Looking ahead, language instructors' revenue is expected to return to growth as consumers, businesses and immigrants increasingly seek to learn new languages. Corporations contending with rising globalization will contract instructors to equip their employees to communicate with clients and partners overseas. The federal government's goals for increased immigration through the early part of the next period will support training in English and French, aided by rising funding for entrance programs. Canadians' disposable income is predicted to rise, leading spending on in-person language instruction to also climb and giving language centers some limited leeway to raise their rates and recover some lost profit. Revenue is set to return to growth, climbing at a CAGR of 1.3% to an estimated $302.4 million over the five years through 2029.
