ABOUT THE REPORT

This report is a comprehensive market research report on the tertiary or

higher education sector in the GCC countries. GCC, or Gulf Cooperation

Council, is a political and economic union of six Arab countries, namely —

Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates

(UAE).

The report discusses the present as well as the forecasted market size of

the higher education sector in these countries. It further talks about the

trends that are taking place in the sector, as well as the key drivers, which

will lead to the sector’s growth.

The reports covers a five–forces analysis of the higher education in GCC

region, followed by a comprehensive analysis of Political, Economic, Social

and Technological scenario of all the six GCC countries, in conjunction with

the higher education sector. The report further discusses the profile of key

players in education space.




EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Market size of GCC’s higher education sector is estimated to be US$ XX

billion, at the end of 2014. XX% of the market comprises public higher

education, consisting of universities and higher education institutions run

by the governments of the GCC countries. On the other hand, private

higher education constitutes XX% of the market, having private and foreign

universities and higher education institutions.

XX% of the market is dominated by Saudi Arabia, followed by UAE and

Kuwait at XX% and XX% respectively. There were approximately XX million

higher education students in GCC countries, in 2014. Approximately XX%

of all the higher education students were in Saudi Arabia, followed by

Kuwait, Oman, and UAE with each comprising of approximately XX% of the

total higher education population of GCC countries.

The sector is witnessing several trends, such as increasing enrollment of

female students, and attraction toward private higher education. There is

also an increase in demand for higher education, due to increasing income

and consumption levels, and economic slowdown in other parts of the

world.




Higher education sector in GCC countries is expected to grow at a

compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of XX% and reach US$XX billion by

2019. The growth will be supported by various drivers, such as increase in

higher education population and enrollment rates, increased government

expenditure, and use of technology.

Also, globalization of higher education will attract more students from

other countries, especially from Africa, to come to GCC countries to pursue

higher education.




RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The market definitions used in the reports are the standard definitions

recognized by the industry. In this report, the market size of the tertiary or

higher education sector is defined as the sum total of core expenditure of

teaching students. For private higher education institutions, it includes the

fees paid by students. While for public universities and higher education

institutions, it includes the government expenditure per student, as well

as the tuition fee paid by the students.

Bases of all the figure are taken from the statistics provided by the

governments and ministries of the respective countries, as well as

prominent organizations such as the World Bank, International Monetary

Fund, UNESCO Institute of Statistics, World Factbook — CIA etc. The data

is further validated through credible analyst reports, white papers by

industry organizations, questioners and primary expert interviews.

The data does not include enrollment and expenditure figures on technical

and vocational education, unless specified in the report. It focuses only on
