Market Synopsis

Mobility devices will be the fastest-growing segment on account of technological advancement and better ergonomic design.

Braille scripts are widely used by blind people to understand literature; traditionally, they were written on embossed paper. Currently, braille scripts are available on computer screens and on other refreshable braille displays and writers. Companies such as Amedia Corporation and BAUM Retec AG are providing braille displays, electronically magnifying vision aids, and reading devices for the implementation of the electronically available information in braille scripts and speech output. Mobility devices are set to register impressive growth during the forecast period on account of an increase in donations and charities helping the visually impaired with better mobile devices to improve their quality of life and perform ambulatory activities independently. Better operational efficiency, navigation, and excellent ergonomic designs propel the mobility device market.

Increased funding and awareness campaigns for visual impairment have resulted in the rapid growth of blind schools throughout the globe.

Healthcare agencies and nonprofit organizations (NGOs) throughout the globe have been providing large funds for awareness campaigns and assistance to fight visual impairment throughout the globe. In the last two decades, there has been a rise in the enrollment of visually impaired students in blind schools. Braille scripts in the form of writers, printers, computers, and other standalone devices are provided in blind schools to improve the education and quality of life of blind students.

Growing awareness of visual impairment among citizens due to proactive social media and digital platforms has resulted in increased usage of mobile devices and low-vision devices for personal use. The availability of a diverse range of products pertaining to standalone devices and software to assist with visual impairment drives the personal use market globally.

The growing prevalence of visually impaired people, as well as the emergence of local players, are driving market growth in the Asia Pacific.

With a 39% market share, North America currently dominates the market for assistive technologies for the visually impaired. The factors responsible for the dominance of North America are the well-developed healthcare infrastructure and the technological advancement in the devices and software to help the visually impaired population. Germany is a pioneer in technology and is actively engaged in designing new software for braille printers and writers.

The rising prevalence of eye disorders and proactive social organizations cater to the needs of the visually impaired population in Europe. Asia Pacific accounts for one-third of the global visually impaired population on account of dire eye health conditions in the middle and low-income countries of the Asia Pacific region. The emergence of local players poses serious competition to key players in Asia Pacific who provide braille-enabled devices and software.
