Fine arts schools enjoyed solid revenue growth in the years leading up to the pandemic as spending on leisure activities and disposable income swelled. The COVID-19 pandemic forced fine arts schools to contend with plummeting enrollment as lockdowns prevented social gatherings and skyrocketing unemployment left many unable to partake in their favorite recreational pastimes. Lingering transmission concerns and price competition limited revenue's recovery, though revenue returned to growth in 2022. While inflationary pressures dragged down disposable income in the years since, solid demand for recreation among consumers with lingering memories of lockdowns led to heightened spending on fine arts classes. Industry-wide revenue has been expanding at an annualized 0.6% over the past five years to 2024 to total $7.3 billion, despite a dip of 0.7% in 2024 alone. Fine arts schools faced notably reduced profit in 2020 as most of the industry couldn't replace their classes with online alternatives. Dampened revenue made fixed costs more challenging to cover. While a delayed recovery continued to impact revenue, schools brought back profit in 2021 by shrinking their workforce. Eager students were willing to overlook some higher-than-usual student-to-teacher ratios, but rising competition in the years since has brought this competitive base back to the forefront of the mind for fine arts enthusiasts with many options. Profit has accordingly taken a slight downturn, but the industry's reliance on part-time workers and volunteers has helped buoy profit from a more significant downturn. Through 2029, recovering per capita disposable income and recreational spending will drive the industry upwards. Year-over-year revenue growth will be much more muted than in recent years, though, as falling government funding will force fine arts schools to raise tuition and rely more on donations from corporations and individuals. Public schools will continue to cut underperforming programs, shrinking the number of students exposed to the fine arts. Overall, industry revenue is set to climb at a CAGR of 1.0% to $7.7 billion through the end of 2029.

There were approximately 18.58 million college students in the U.S. in 2022, with around 13.49 million enrolled in public colleges and a further 5.09 million students enrolled in private colleges. The figures are projected to remain relatively constant over the next few years.

What is the most expensive college in the U.S.? The overall number of higher education institutions in the U.S. totals around 4,000, and California is the state with the most. One important factor that students – and their parents – must consider before choosing a college is cost. With annual expenses totaling almost 78,000 U.S. dollars, Harvey Mudd College in California was the most expensive college for the 2021-2022 academic year. There are three major costs of college: tuition, room, and board. The difference in on-campus and off-campus accommodation costs is often negligible, but they can change greatly depending on the college town.

The differences between public and private colleges Public colleges, also called state colleges, are mostly funded by state governments. Private colleges, on the other hand, are not funded by the government but by private donors and endowments. Typically, private institutions are  much more expensive. Public colleges tend to offer different tuition fees for students based on whether they live in-state or out-of-state, while private colleges have the same tuition cost for every student.

Across the globe and in the United States, consumers tend to spend a considerable amount of money during specific festivities and seasonal events. During the winter holiday season of 2024, for instance, consumers in the United States expected to spend an average of about *** U.S. dollars per person, making it one of the top U.S. shopping events of the year. That said, the top spot went to the back-to-college season, when average per capita spending was projected to reach nearly ***** U.S. dollars. What do back-to-college shoppers buy? Getting students ready for an academic year at college can be an expensive ordeal in the United States. In addition to paying tuition and rent, it is frequently the first time young adults leave their parents’ homes, which can translate to an array of items needing to be purchased. In 2024, U.S. consumers planned to spend a total of more than ** billion U.S. dollars on back-to-college dorm and/or apartment furnishings. Only five years earlier, planned college furniture spending in the United States stood at less than ***** billion U.S. dollars in total. The impact of inflation on consumption Although consumers consistently spend more money on products and services during specific seasonal events, the wave of inflation that has hit the world in the last couple of years has thrown a wrench into many consumers’ shopping plans. For instance, increasing numbers of holiday shoppers in the United States have been looking for more sales than usual or said they would be buying less expensive gifts.
