The TIMES Top EdTech Companies
Online learning companies have pivoted to providing more tools for teachers, launching interactive tools and gamification features to keep students engaged, and becoming more efficient with the adoption of artificial intelligence, as students have returned to the classroom post-pandemic.
The second annual ranking by TIME and Statista of the top edtech companies globally shows how online learning remains crucial in today’s world. The 2025 list reviewed data from over 7,000 companies, and evaluated them based on a formula combining financial strength and industry impact.
Methodology
The research project “World’s Top EdTech Companies 2025” is a comprehensive analysis conducted to identify the top performing EdTech companies in the United States. First, companies had to primarily focus on developing and providing educational technologies, products, or services. The 350 companies with the highest score were awarded as “World’s Top EdTech Companies 2025.”
The ranking is built on two pillars: financial strength and industry impact. Statista gathered and scrutinized data from over 7,000 companies through desk research, online application forms, and collaborations with other data and market intelligence companies. A company received scores in each of these dimensions, which were then combined into an overall score.
For the first dimension, financial strength, Statista analyzed revenue, employee, and funding data, obtained from publicly available sources like annual reports, company websites, through media monitoring, and via databases. Additionally, company disclosures submitted via an online application form, which was freely accessible via the TIME website, were considered.
For the evaluation of the industry impact, Statista cooperated with HolonIQ and LexisNexis® Intellectual Property Solutions to assess companies in different impact dimensions, encompassing factors such as:
- quality and impact of their product/service portfolio
- quantity and value of a company’s IP (intellectual property) portfolio
In addition, Statista researched various metrics around web traffic, to assess the relevance of the products and services to the respective target groups.
The evaluation process involved assessing all relevant companies within the global EdTech sector that exhibited above-average performance on financial metrics in their geographical region. Subsequently, the selection was narrowed down to include only those companies that not only excelled financially but also demonstrated significant industry impact within their specific categories. This selection process allowed us to establish our final ranking of the World’s Top EdTech Companies 2025. Once the data was collected and evaluated, it was consolidated and weighted within a scoring model. The final score was calculated as follows: 70% x financial strength score + 30% x impact score. The companies with the highest score were awarded as “World’s Top EdTech Companies 2025” by TIME and Statista.
