Increase in Geriatric and Disabled Populations across the Globe
Improving health care reforms in major markets such as the U.S., Japan, and China has increased the life expectancy of the population. According to a report published by the United Nations (UN), the global population aged 60 years or over was around 962 million in 2017. It is expected to reach 2,100 million by 2050. Increase in the geriatric population is likely to boost demand for assistive technologies for visually impaired people. Elderly people are prone to various physical disorders such as vision and hearing loss and immobility. Elderly people suffering from visual disorders require assistive devices for day-to-day activities such as reading or performing any other physical activities, besides physical movement. Hence, increase in the geriatric population is expected to contribute to the growth of the global assistive technologies for visually impaired market.
Advancements in Assistive Technologies
The assistive technology for visually impaired industry has changed dramatically in the past few years, with new technologies bringing significant changes in many areas. Recent developments in assistive and inclusive technology (AIT) have generated new opportunities for people to overcome everyday challenges and problems associated with vision loss. For example, smartphones offer much more than just a phone connection. For a large number of people, mobile devices are becoming the single point of contact with a wide range of technologies such as operation of household appliances, control over lighting, writing, reading, object identification, web-searching, banking, and shopping. Hence, technological advancements are expected to fuel demand for assistive technologies for visually impaired people.
