The Middle East and Africa Learning Management System market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 28.6% during the forecast period of 2014-2019. Increasing adoption of e-learning solutions, businesses emphasizing on continuous learning practices, accountability mandates, and the market trend of employing cloud technology to streamline the learning process are some of the key factors that are fueling the growth of this regional market. However, the Application Programming Interface (API) integration support with third-party programs such as content management and collaboration tools is challenging, which inhibits adoption of LMS.

Most of the countries in this region are struggling to develop their economies beyond oil. A number of formative projects have been presented by the legislatures of these nations in the Middle East and Africa region, which has made it compulsory for the organizations to provide learning and advancement projects to improve the skillset of their employees. Such initiatives are expected to increase the adoption of LMS in this region in coming years

Desire2Learn, Blackboard, Inc., Cornerstone on Demand, Oracle, and McGraw-Hill are some of the key players operating in this regional market.
