Market Overview:
The global screen reader market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for screen readers from blind and visually impaired, illiterate, and learning disability population segments. Additionally, the growing awareness about the benefits of using screen readers among general population is also propelling the growth of this market. Based on type, cloud-based screen readers are expected to witness higher adoption rates as compared to web-based screen readers during the forecast period. This can be attributed to various factors such as lower cost of ownership and easy accessibility over cloud platforms.
Product Definition:
A screen reader is a computer program that reads aloud the text that appears on the screen, allowing people who are visually impaired to use a computer. Screen readers are also used by people who are learning to read, or by anyone who wants to keep their hands free while they work.
Cloud-based:
Cloud-based is a term used to define software solutions that provide accessibility features such as screen reader, Braille display and large text readout on mobile devices. It also provides an option for users with visual impairment to enlarge the text without any loss of quality. The major factor responsible for its adoption in the market is cost efficiency.
It reduces the need for purchasing.
Web-based:
Web-based technology is a method of delivering content over the World Wide Web. It is also known as web accessibility or web reading technology and it helps blind and partially sighted people to read websites text easily by using screen readers. The major advantage of this technology is that the person can access any website without having to print out pages from a book or rely on oral description which makes it easier for them to track information across numerous sites.
Application Insights:
The globally screen reader market is segmented by application into blind and visually impaired, illiterate, learning disability and others. The blind and visually impaired segment held the largest share in 2017 due to the high prevalence of this disorder. According to Vision Australia, approximately 1 in 6 people have some degree of vision impairment which impacts their ability to read or interact with the world around them. Thus, a large number of users with blindness or visual impairment are using screen readers which is driving their demand globally.
The illiterate segment is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period owing to rising awareness about education among different segments such as rural population in developing countries like India and China along with advanced economies like U.S., Canada etc.
Regional Analysis:
Europe dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the growing adoption of screen reader technology and increasing demand for accessible information across countries. The European Commission has provided a number of initiatives to promote accessibility including funding programs, research projects, and standard setting activities. For instance, it established an EU-funded project called e-readers for blind people that provides assistive technologies such as screen readers on e-book readers. In addition, it collaborated with other organizations such as Ophthalmic Screening Europe (OSE) to provide eye screening services at no cost in more than 14 countries across Europe.
The Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a lucrative rate over the forecast period due to factors such as developing economy and rising awareness about disabilities among all age groups especially children & adolescents who are increasingly using mobile devices worldwide.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the visually impaired and blind population
- Rising awareness about the benefits of screen readers among general population
- Government initiatives and schemes for promotion of screen readers
- Technological advancements in the field of screen readers
- Growing demand from small and medium businesses
