Summary

The Global Assistive Technologies for Visually Impaired Market is valued approximately at USD 6.34 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.05% over the forecast period 2025-2035. Assistive technologies for visually impaired individuals encompass a diverse range of devices and software designed to enhance independence, accessibility, and quality of life. These solutions include hardware devices such as wearable navigation aids, electronic readers, and braille displays; software platforms that provide AI-based image recognition and voice-assisted navigation; and hybrid integrated solutions that combine multiple functionalities for comprehensive support. The market growth is primarily driven by rising awareness about visual impairment, advancements in AI and computer vision technologies, and increasing government initiatives to improve accessibility for the visually challenged.
The surge in demand for assistive technologies is significantly fueled by the growing prevalence of visual impairments worldwide, coupled with rapid technological advancements in AI-driven and electronic solutions. According to WHO, an estimated 2.2 billion people suffer from vision impairment globally, with 1 billion cases preventable or yet untreated. This immense need has led to increased adoption of assistive technologies across individuals, educational institutions, rehabilitation centers, and workplaces. Moreover, integration of AI and computer vision into these solutions provides real-time navigation, object recognition, and personalized support, further expanding their applicability. However, the high cost of advanced devices and limited accessibility in underdeveloped regions may restrain market growth to some extent over the forecast period.
