Market Size and Growth - Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Training Market: United States

The 2019 market size for the U.S. diversity and inclusion (D&I) training market is $8 billion. While overall spending on D&I initiatives is growing at a CAGR of about 6.50%, spending on D&I training is decreasing at a rate of about -8.35%. This means the 2020 D&I training market size will be about $7.4 billion. Details are below.
Market SizeCompanies in the United States spend about $8 billion per year on diversity and inclusion (D&I) training.
 In 2016, the average budget for D&I programs was $1.1 million per company and it was spent in the following ways:
Diversity conferences represented 29% of the D&I budget, or about $319,000.
Training and development represented 25% of the D&I budget, or about $275,000.
Employee resource groups represented 20% of the D&I budget, or about $220,000.
Community outreach represented 17% of the D&I budget, or about $187,000.
Supplier diversity represented 16% of the D&I budget, or about $176,000.
Recruitment and retention represented 13% of the D&I budget, or about $143,000.
This means that the average annual D&I training budget per company in the U.S. for 2016 was about $275,000 per year.
The budget for D&I training has decreased since 2016, representing just 21% of the overall D&I budget in 2018. Assuming the average overall D&I budget remained the same in 2018 as it was in 2016 ($1.1 million), this would mean D&I training budget decreased to $231,000 in 2018.
Growth RateFor universities, the average dollars allocated to D&I budgets increased 33.7% between 2014 and 2019.
If that percentage is extrapolated to the $8 billion per year spend on D&I training overall, this would mean that in 2014, the overall spend on D&I training was $5.84 billion.
Using a CAGR calculator, the compound average growth rate between 2014 and 2019 would be 6.50%.
However, between 2016 and 2018, there was a total decrease in annual budgets dedicated to D&I training of 15%. This would represent a CAGR of -8.35%. 
It appears that companies are finding D&I training less valuable than they used to, so it may be that the growth rate is currently trending negative. 
By taking the -8.35% CAGR, this would mean that the 2020 market size for D&I training would be about $7.4 billion.
Research StrategyThe market size of the D&I training market was readily available, as it was quoted in numerous credible sources such as McKinsey, LinkedIn, Time, and Forbes. The CAGR was less readily available. We searched through formal market research reports from sources such as Winters Group, MarketsandMarkets, MarketWatch, and others. The only data we found was related to the D&I Technology market. We switched strategies to looking for studies conducted on D&I training including company budgets. We found a 2018 report from Diversity Best Practices that provided the average budget per U.S. company for all D&I programs for 2016 and the percentage spent on D&I training for both 2016 and 2018. We also found a report from Insight Into Diversity that showed an increase in D&I spend of 33.7% over a period of five years. This allowed us to use the $8 billion market size to estimate a CAGR of 6.50%. However, the Diversity Best Practices study found that budgets for D&I training actually decreased at a CAGR of -8.35% between 2016 and 2018. Using the evidence from reputable articles from sources such as Forbes, Time, and McKinsey, we determined that companies are finding D&I training less valuable than they have in the past, which supports the decrease in D&I training budgets. So, while companies may be spending more on D&I overall, their actual spend on training is decreasing. In fact, budgets for employee resource groups (ERGs) has increased from 20% to 22% of the total D&I budget between 2016 and 2018, and recruitment and retention has increased from 13% to 14% of the total D&I budget, which account for the 4% drop in budgets for D&I training from 25% to 21%. This indicates that companies are allocating less money to training and more money to other D&I segments.
CalculationsTo calculate the amount budgeted for diversity conference out of the total average $1.1 million D&I budget, we multiplied $1.1 million by 0.29 to get $319,000.
To calculate the amount budgeted for D&I training and development out of the total average $1.1 million D&I budget, we multiplied $1.1 million by 0.25 to get $275,000.
To calculate the amount budgeted in 2016 for employee resource groups out of the total average $1.1 million D&I budget, we multiplied $1.1 million by 0.20 to get $220,000.
To calculate the amount budgeted in 2016 for community outreach out of the total average $1.1 million D&I budget, we multiplied $1.1 million by 0.17 to get $187,000.
To calculate the amount budgeted in 2016 for supplier diversity out of the total average $1.1 million D&I budget, we multiplied $1.1 million by 0.16 to get $176,000.
To calculate the amount budgeted in 2016 for recruitment and retention out of the total average $1.1 million D&I budget, we multiplied $1.1 million by 0.13 to get $143,000.
To calculate the amount budgeted in 2018 for D&I training and development out of the total average $1.1 million D&I budget, we multiplied $1.1 million by 0.21 to get $231,000.
To get the total market size of D&I training in the U.S. for 2014, we divided $8 billion by 0.37 to get $5.84 billion.
Using a CAGR calculator, the initial value of $5.84 billion, the ending value of $8 billion, and the intervening five periods, we found the CAGR of 6.50%.
To find the percentage decrease in training budgets between 2016 and 2018, we divided $231,000 by $273,000 to get 85%. We then subtracted 85 from 100 to get a 15% decrease.
Using a CAGR calculator, the initial value of $275,000, the ending value of $231,000, and the intervening two periods, we found a CAGR of -8.35%.
To estimate the 2020 D&I training market size, we divided $8 billion by 0.0835 to get $7.4 billion.

Market Size and Growth - Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Training Market: Canada

There is no readily available estimate for the size and growth rate of Canada's diversity & inclusion training market; however, we were able to triangulate an estimate for the market size. Canada's diversity & inclusion training market was estimated to be worth $43.86 million in 2018.
D&I Training Market Size: CanadaThe size of Canada's diversity & inclusion training market was $43.86 million in 2018 (estimated).
The global diversity & inclusion training market is valued at $1,111 million (estimated).
The global compliance training market, of which the diversity & inclusion training market is a sub-segment, is valued at $5,765.5 million.
North America has a 54% share of the global compliance training market.
D&I Training Software Market: GlobalThe global diversity & inclusion training software market is valued at roughly $100 million.
The D&I technology vendors (based globally) surveyed by Mercer grew 100% YoY in 2018. The rapid growth of the industry is indicative of the need for corporations to address challenges related to diversity and inclusion.
The key industries D&I vendors cater to are finance, technology, and professional services.
The D&I technology market is at a nascent stage; 60% of companies in the space are less than four years old.
Research StrategyThe diversity & inclusion market is a sub-segment of the compliance training market, which is a sub-segment of the learning & development market. Most of the reports we found on the compliance training market were for the North American and Global markets; there were no D&I training-focused reports. The compliance training reports were behind paywalls and the research overviews did not provide any relevant information specific to the diversity & inclusion training market. We found a full report on the learning & development market, but it did not provide any relevant statistics. As research data is sometimes published in industry websites, interview transcripts of experts, and media sources, we also searched them, but all we were able to obtain (from multiple sources) was the size of the global diversity and inclusion software market ($100 million). We also found the original report from Mercer, but it did not provide any statistics on the D&I training (not software) market as a whole. Given these limitations, we triangulated the market size using data points we found through the course of or research.

The global diversity & inclusion technology market is valued at $100 million in 2018.
The size of the global learning & development market is $211 billion.
The global spend on learning & development tools is $19 billion.
Therefore, 9% ($19B/$211B) of the total learning & development spend can be attributed to technology.
Assuming that the proportion of spend on technology is the same for the diversity & inclusion training market, the size of the diversity & inclusion training market is 1,111 million ($100 million/9%)

Diversity & inclusion training is a segment of the compliance training market. 
The global compliance market was valued at $5765.5 million in 2018; North America has a 54% share of this market.
Assuming that North America's share in the diversity & inclusion training market is the same, the size of the North American diversity & inclusion training market in 2018 was $600 million (54%*$1,111 million).

The North America market comprises the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The GDP of the three countries:
United States: $20,494,100 million 
Canada: $1,712,510 million 
Mexico: $1,223,809 million 
Total: $23,430,419 million
Canada's GDP share of the North American market is 7.31% ($1,712,510 million/ $23,430,419 million)

Assuming that Canada's spend on D&I will be in the same proportion as its GDP in North America's GDP, the size of the diversity & inclusion training market in Canada is $43.86 million (7.31%*$600 million).

Research StrategyTo provide a competitive landscape for Allie, Civic Dinners, and Envisia Learning, we began by thoroughly searching the company websites for information regarding their products and services, pricing details, and marketing efforts. Our search was fruitful as we identified the services and solution offered by the companies together with their marketing efforts. Unfortunately, we were unable to find the pricing information for Allie and Civic Dinners.

To ensure due diligence, we began by searching through the website of both companies for any information about their product pricing. We also searched the frequently asked questions and product details with the hope of finding any information about the products. This strategy yielded no results as there was no such information listed on their websites. Furthermore, we scoured through the posts and reviews on the companies social media channels for any mention of the product pricing but found none.

Next, we searched through the public domain for any news source, media publication, or articles that have made mention of the pricing details of both companies. We searched through sources such as Apollo and American Innovation with the hope of finding any mention of the cost of using both services. This strategy also yielded no result as most of the available information about both companies centered on their services and features with no detail about pricing. In-depth research revealed that Allie is a chatbot that integrates with Slack and can not function on its own.
 
Lastly, we searched through the databases of trusted review and business directory sources with the hope of finding any mention of the product pricing details for any of the companies. We looked at sources such as Capterra and Crunchbase with the hope of finding the pricing information about the platforms. We did not find any pricing information on the trusted review sources or business directory databases about Allie and Civic Dinners. We, therefore, concluded that both companies had not published the prices for their services in the public domain.

However, access to the pricing of the products for Landit required a login/free sign up, and the details retrieved have been provided in this brief. 

Jopwell, on the other hand, did not have their pricing information publicly published on their website. We redirected our search to reputable software review websites such as Capterra, Gartner, and Trustradius with the hope of finding pricing information for Jopwell, but this too did not yield any results. Finally, we scanned through the public domain for news articles, press releases or publications relating to Jopwell pricing and found an estimate with the digital resource company for small businesses, Fitsmallbusines, whose details have been provided in the brief.

Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Training Market - Implementation Insights

The insights surrounding the implementation of Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) training in the US include the effectiveness of D&I strategy, the D&I training budget, the budget allocation framework, budget spending, and the ROI from D&I training.

D&I Training Budgeting StrategyAccording to the site Findcourses' D&I training survey report, effective diversity and inclusion strategies have become a priority in growing organizations, hence leaders of the diverse organizations are 22% more likely to offer D&I training to their employees by allocating more L&D budget leading to a predicted increase in L&D spending in 2019.
In most of the organizations in the US (57%), implementing a D&I training is mandatory. 
The most common types of training included in this framework include unconscious bias training, sensitivity/empathy training, and cultural competence.

D&I Training BudgetAccording to the Deloitte Human Capital Trends survey report, most of the companies' top executives (69%) rate diversity and inclusion as an important issue. 
Largely (38%), the CEOs are the primary sponsor of the company’s diversity and inclusion efforts, including D&I training.
In the US, it is estimated that around $8 billion a year is spent on diversity training.

Budget Allocation FrameworkAccording to the SHRM and American Workforce Policy Advisory Board (AWPAB) survey, most organizations' HR professionals/managers plan to offer compliance training once a year, wherein training related to D&I is planned to be implemented on a monthly cycle.
As per the 2018 DBP Inclusion Index, around 21% of the D&I budget is planned to be allocated towards the training/learning and development needs in the organizations.

D&I Budget SpendingThe D&I budget spending by most of the organizations, according to 2018 DBP Inclusion Index, are:
Employee resource groups (ERG's): represented 22% of the D&I budget
Employee resource groups (ERG's): represented 22% of the D&I budget
External partnerships: represented 25% of the D&I budget
Recruitment and employment branding: represented 14% of the D&I budget
Learning and development: represented 21% of the D&I budget
Programming: represented 16% of the D&I budget
Other areas: represented 9% of the D&I budget
Most of the organizations largely implement sensitivity/empathy-related D&I training (26%) along with cultural competence (23%), and unconscious bias training in the organization (17%) when spending on D&I training.
 
ROI From D&I Training According to the U.S. L&D Report 2019 by Findcourses, "72% of the companies offering D&I training
 saw an increase in profits last year".
The 2018 Delivering Through Diversity McKinsey report, including most of the respondents from the US (33%), highlights that most of the companies including D&I strategy and implementation through training and other programs are more likely to experience above-average profitability (21%) with a 33% likelihood of out performance on EBIT margin.

Research Strategy:To obtain the insights surrounding the implementation of Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Training in the US, we examined the credible research and survey reports on Diversity and Inclusion through sources including McKinsey, SHRMAccenture, U.S. L&D Report 2019, along with 2018 DBP Inclusion Index. Additionally, a 2017 Deloitte report was included as it shared the key insights related to the US D&I training spending which was estimated to be around $8 billion a year and the involvement of organization CEOs as a primary sponsor of the company’s diversity and inclusion efforts, which include D&I training. Most recent report available shared insights that most organizations consider D&I training as a priority and the allocation of the D&I budget related to training/L&D, however, they are not on the total spending amount.
