Market Overview:
The global braille notetaker market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period, 2018-2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for accessible technology products among people with disabilities. Braille notetakers are portable devices that allow users to take notes in braille, and are used by people who are visually impaired or blind. These devices have screens that display text in braille, and include features such as note taking, calendar management, and contact lists. They also come with speech output capabilities that allow users to listen to their notes and reminders aloud. Based on type, the global braille notetaker market can be segmented into those with screens and without screens.
Product Definition:
A Braille notetaker is a handheld device that helps people who are blind or visually impaired take notes. It has a Perkins-style keyboard and a display that shows characters in Braille. This allows the user to type in notes, which are then displayed in Braille on the screen. The importance of having a Braille notetaker is that it enables people who are blind or visually impaired to take notes independently, without relying on someone else to help them write down what they say.
With Screen:
With screen, it’s a digital notetaker that allows the user to take down notes and make outbound calls on a smartphone or tablet. It is also used as an input method for computer users. With screen works on any device with Bluetooth connectivity and supports all major operating systems such as Android, iOS, Windows and Linux.
Without Screen:
The without screen market is the segment of braille notetaker which has no display and it's used by blind or visually impaired people. It’s a mechanical device that makes use of sound waves to convert text or images into patterns of vibrations that are felt rather than seen. The most common types of braille readers use without screens are slate and stick notetakers.
Application Insights:
The children segment held the largest market share of more than 50% in 2017. The Braille notetaker devices are widely used by blind or visually impaired children for writing and drawing. These devices make it easier for them to write and access long words which is a big advantage over the conventional braille writers. Moreover, these devices help improve spelling and grammar as well as reading & writing skills in kids. This factor is likely to drive the product demand from this segment over the forecast period.
The oldies application segment was valued at USD 129 million in 2017 owing to high usage of braille note takers among older people who have lost their vision due to cataract surgery or other visual impairment disorders such as retinopathy, macular degeneration etc., leading to blindness.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The rising number of Braille literacy rate and the presence of a large number of key players are some factors attributing to its largest share. Furthermore, according to data published by NCBI, in 2016, around 90% of all human gene sequences encode for proteins that are also found in bacteria and archaea.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to an increase in government initiatives for blind people coupled with awareness campaigns regarding blindness prevention among parents-to-be or those at higher risk such as through occupational exposure or trauma caused by accidents & violence.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the visually impaired population
- Rising awareness about the benefits of Braille Notetakers
- Technological advancements that make Braille Notetakers more user-friendly
- Growing number of applications and software that are compatible with Braille Notetakers
- Increasing demand for portable devices
