Online Exam Proctoring Market Drivers and Opportunities
Increasing Adoption of E-Learning Solutions
Online learning is experiencing rapid adoption among students and working professionals. As it becomes an integral part of mainstream education, e-learning delivers advantages over traditional models, including enhanced accessibility, greater flexibility, and scalable delivery. According to the Yellow Bus ABA, in March 2025, nearly half (49%) of students participated in online learning globally, underscoring its widespread reach. In the US, daily engagement stands even higher, with 63% of students actively using digital education tools, demonstrating a dependence on virtual learning platforms. In 2024, 33% of internet users in the European Union (EU) reported using an online course or digital learning materials within the past three months, marking a 3-percentage-point increase from 30% in 2023. This growth reflects the continued expansion of online education across the region.
The Japan Online Training & Education Industry Association (JOTEA) is promoting e-learning initiatives and advising government stakeholders on policies to support sector development. JOTEA is driving industry engagement through the e-Learning Award Forum, aimed at accelerating growth and collaboration within the e-learning ecosystem. In May 2024, tourism professionals in the region gained access to a robust portfolio of professional development courses through the launch of the EAC Online Tourism Capacity Development Programme. Developed in partnership with the EU and the German Development Cooperation Agency (GIZ), the initiative is designed to raise industry standards and strengthen the skillsets of tourism practitioners across the region. According to March 2025 data, each year, between 30,000 and 40,000 exams are proctored online across the 17 campuses of the University of North Carolina (UNC). As educational institutions and organizations transition to digital platforms for training and assessment, the need for secure and scalable remote testing solutions is surging. Online proctoring plays a critical role in maintaining academic integrity, minimizing fraud, and enabling flexible learning environments. This alignment between digital learning and proctoring technologies is accelerating their integration across schools, universities, and corporate training programs.
Rising Demand for Certification and Upskilling Programs
According to Learning & Development (L&D) professionals, 79% believe that reskilling an existing employee is more cost-effective than hiring a new one. 57% of respondents identified improving job performance as the primary driver for upskilling and reskilling initiatives. These efforts were seen as key factors in enhancing employee retention (52%) and fostering stronger employee engagement (49%). Great Learning's newly published 'Upskilling Trends Report 2024-25' reveals that 85% of professionals in India intend to allocate resources toward upskilling efforts in FY25. As individuals strive to enhance their qualifications and stay competitive in the job market, the need for secure online assessments has surged. With an increasing number of professional courses and certifications shifting to digital platforms, maintaining exam integrity has become paramount. Certification vendors that offer proctored online certification exams are Cisco, EC-Council, ISACA, and CompTIA. Cisco initiated the delivery of its certification exams through online proctoring in partnership with Pearson VUE, enabling candidates to complete assessments remotely in a secure, controlled environment.
Online proctoring solutions offer institutions the ability to monitor test-takers, ensure fairness, and minimize cheating risks. The combination of convenient remote testing and advanced proctoring technologies is enabling access to high-quality education while allowing learners to demonstrate their skills. Thus, rising demand for certification and upskilling programs is expected to create future growth opportunities for the online exam proctoring market.
