MARKET TRENDS
Four main trends are impacting this market.
Rising Asian demographics will bring about a sharp
increase in global demand for Education. The world’s
student population is expected to climb from
97 million in 2000 to 263 million by 2025, half of
them Chinese or Indian. The estimated number of
students studying abroad will jump from 1.7 million
to an estimated 8 million during the same period.
Increased use of new technologies is helping
to expand online degree programs.
Regional alliances and campus openings abroad
are being stepped up to pool resources, attract
students and facilitate exchanges between schools.
SODEXO EXPERIENCE
Increasing competition is encouraging worldwide
acceptance of the concept of accreditation as
a system enabling institutions to gain recognition
for their high quality curriculum, building and
services standards.
These trends are leading colleges and universities
to seek an experienced, worldwide partner capable
of optimizing costs, building and running dynamic
facilities and enhancing the institutions’ reputation.

France:
Attracting high school students with a tailor-made offer
Sodexo has created an innovative student restaurant
designed to reverse the trend of high school students
deserting their school cafeterias for off-campus fast
food restaurants.
Students choose from a variety of experiences:
a quick meal on stools at counters, a relaxed
lunch comfortably seated around a coffee table,
or a gathering of the “group” at a large table.
Six self-service stations provide a host of possibilities
for creating a balanced menu.
Judging by the 18% increase in meals served at
Blanche de Castille High School in Le Chesnay
(Paris area), Sodexo has created a winning recipe
for success.
