Global Assistive Technologies for Visually Impaired Market Trends, Market Share, Industry Size, Growth, Opportunities and Market Forecast – 2022 to 2028

The global assistive technologies for visually impaired market are estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. Screen readers are available for people who are unable to see their computer screens. Companies are expanding their research in this area as this software can use alt text to describe images on the screen and text to speech technology to interpret web pages. Braille displays can be attached to computers if a user prefers the tactile experience of reading braille for listening to a voiceover. Rising ageing population is also encouraging the demand for assistive technologies. Providers of assistive technologies for the visually impaired people are strengthening their R&D in health and computer-based systems in order to overcome these problems.

Assistive solutions based on smart phones show significant promise for those with vision impairment. However, a lack of awareness and comprehension of the benefits of smart phone-based assistive solutions is restraining the market growth. As a result, businesses should build more inventive and easily accessible user-friendly mobile technology and apps. The launch of the artificial intelligence (AI) powered backpack is offering an opportunity for the market growth. AI is assisting visually challenged people in navigating independently. Market participants should work with researchers to create backpacks that have AI software, a GPS module, and a 4K camera. They could invest more in computer vision R&D to create backpacks equipped with an AI camera to monitor the wearer’s surroundings. Companies in the market are adopting lessons from these breakthroughs to create backpacks that operate with a laptop or computer to alert the wearer of signs or barriers through Bluetooth headphones.
