In India, the preschool and childcare market is facing a strong demand in recent years. Factors like rising parent concerns and awareness about early childhood education and care, coupled with increasing number of nuclear families and working women population are expected to contribute to the growing demand for preschool/child care centers in the country over the course of next five years. India’s preschool/childcare market in India is forecast to grow at a CAGR of around 23% during 2017 – 2022 – says one of the recent studies.
