Market Introduction
Childcare management software provides a platform for both children and parents to communicate easily. Online registration, secure pick-up, parent connection, and invoicing plan are among the major features of the childcare software. The software also provides regular updates on the child’s attendance, meals, and extracurricular activities.
Growing number of daycare centers/kindergarten schools and increasing number of women going to offices, as well as opening in-office daycare centers in corporates, are among the major drivers propelling the childcare software management market growth. However, the high price of software is a factor restraining the market growth, as small kindergarten schools may have low budget allocation. Nonetheless, the integration of advanced technologies such as video streaming and ChatBot is expected to generate significant opportunities for the childcare management software market.
The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 across North America, with the US being the worst-hit country, lead to a temporary closure of all education and daycare centers in the region, thereby leading to children being confined at their homes. This resulted in a severe decline in the demand for childcare management software from institutions such as preschools, before and aftercare centers, and daycares centers. Additionally, the high adoption of work from home culture due to the pandemic has compelled parents to self-monitor their child and their progress. This has further led to the decline in the adoption of childcare management solutions among parents, thereby negatively impacting the growth of the childcare management software market.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The North America childcare management software market is expected to grow from US$ 59.28 million in 2021 to US$ 95.02 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2021 to 2028. The integration of AI into childcare management system is expected to drive the North America childcare management market in coming years. The dependency on AI to estimate the quality of childcare (or in other words “surveillance parenting”) is an innovation brought into the market. For instance, Invidyo, a Turkey-based start-up, provides an AI-driven “smart baby and babysitter camera.” This enables parents to monitor both child and babysitter. Through AI-assisted tools, the device automatically records the mood of babies using image processing technologies to provide a judgment on the quality of childcare. The AI-powered device gives necessary data such as baby feeding intervals, or performance of the babysitter, and others. By using algorithm, the device records mood swings of babies, which later create highlight reel and lowlight reel. This data then notifies parents about their quality of childcare. Therefore, the integration of AI-powered childcare management is expected to be a trending factor and is likely to drive the growth of the childcare management software market.
