How Are Key Drivers in the Industry Acting as Catalysts for the Growth of the Assistive Technologies For Visually Impaired Market?
The assistive technologies for visually impaired market is expected to be bolstered by the escalating instances of visual impairments and blindness. These conditions, which restrict or entirely obliterate a person’s ability to see, are addressed by assistive technologies that help enhance accessibility. These include critical aids like braille displays that augment navigation, provide access to information and foster communication. For instance, the World Health Organization reported in August 2023 that approximately 2.2 billion people worldwide are struggling with vision impairments. Among them, 1 billion cases could have been prevented or are currently inadequately treated. Moreover, refractive errors impact 36% of these individuals, while cataracts contribute to impairment in 17% of the cases. Thus, the rise in visual impairments and blindness is increasingly fueling the growth of the assistive technologies market for the visually impaired.
