India Preschool/Child Care Market to Grow with a CAGR of 10.90% through 2030

The preschool/child care market in India is rapidly growing, driven by increasing awareness of early childhood education's importance. Demand is rising for quality facilities offering structured learning, safety, and holistic development for young children

According to TechSci Research report, “India Preschool/Child Care Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the India Preschool/Child Care market stood at USD 4.31 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow USD 8.01 billion by 2030 with a CAGR 10.90% during forecast period. The India preschool/child care market is experiencing significant growth, driven by various factors such as increasing urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and a growing awareness of early childhood education. In recent years, the demand for quality preschool education has surged as parents increasingly recognize the importance of nurturing a child’s developmental needs in their formative years. The market comprises a diverse range of institutions, including preschools, daycare centers, and informal childcare facilities. These establishments cater to children aged 0-6 years, focusing on both educational and holistic developmental outcomes.

Urbanization has been a major catalyst for the growth of the preschool and child care sector. As more families move to urban areas in search of better employment opportunities, the need for structured child care solutions has become paramount. Urban parents, often working long hours, seek reliable preschool and daycare services that not only provide supervision but also contribute to their child’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. This has led to a proliferation of both organized and unorganized preschool facilities across the country, particularly in metropolitan areas.

Moreover, rising disposable incomes among the middle class have facilitated greater spending on quality education and child care services. As parents prioritize their children’s early learning experiences, they are willing to invest in premium preschool options that offer comprehensive curricula, trained educators, and a conducive learning environment. This trend has spurred the entry of several international preschool franchises into the Indian market, adding to the competitive landscape. These franchises often bring with them established pedagogical methods and a wealth of experience from global markets, appealing to parents looking for high-quality early education for their children.
