Soft skills refer to a combination of people and communication skills, personality traits, attitudes, career preferences and social and emotional intelligence. Individuals undertake professional training to enhance these skills and navigate the professional environment to achieve personal and business goals. The training is offered through offline and web-based platforms and can aid in improving customer service, employee retention, increasing sales and job satisfaction and overall productivity of the individual.

Organizations are emphasizing on providing high-quality training modules to their employees for encouraging holistic development and faster achievement of goals. Furthermore, new employees are enrolled for soft skills training programs to inculcate the skills of delegation, cohesiveness and collaboration, which is also contributing to the market growth. Individuals are also increasingly investing in upgrading their skills and learning soft skills to attract more lucrative professional opportunities. Additionally, various technological advancements, such as the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) with the training modules, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These technologies offer repeatable and reusable content and are able to identify the specific requirement of each individual. Other factors, including rising expenditure on digital learning and acquiring new skills by the masses, are anticipated to drive the market further.
