The Indian pre-school market has witnessed healthy growth in recent years. This market in India is poised to grow at a CAGR of around 19% during 2019-2024.
The growth of the Indian pre-school market is driven primarily by factors like rising parent awareness for early childhood education and care, coupled with the rising number of nuclear families and working women in the country.
As of 2015, there were 33,000 preschools in the country and the number is growing exponentially. Enticed with such huge potential, entrepreneurs are willing to invest in the preschool market.
Franchising Prospects of Preschool Industry
Franchising is the trend of the hour, and pre-school franchises are gaining tremendous popularity owing to an increase in demand for reputable brands, higher disposable incomes, etc. For a pre-school franchise, you would require a moderate investment with high-profit revenue.
In India, investing in a preschool franchise is one profitable option for investors that are planning to start something of their own. In fact, the preschool education industry is growing by leaps and bounds, which is eventually opening the gate of opportunities for aspiring franchisors.
Since the segment requires lesser regulatory limitations and has a minimal infrastructural requirement, the industry is all set to emerge as one of the profitable education business options in the near time.
