Digital Braille Displays Market Size

The global digital braille displays market is projected to grow at a CAGR value of 20.5% from 2022 to 2027. Braille displays are becoming increasingly popular in recent years, these devices can be easily attached to electronic devices with displays to allow blind people to easily read the information on the display and control the device. The growing number of people suffering from blindness either complete or partial is a major driver of the market. The growing perforation of electronic devices and technology in everyday life is another factor that is expected to further enhance the demand for braille displays during the forecast period.

Increasing awareness of the challenges faced by people with disabilities and the growing demand for the provision of equal opportunities to all is expected to only increase the demand for these displays.

The CDC estimates that there are over a million people who are legally blind in the United States alone. The center also estimates that there are at least 93 million adults in the United States are at risk of serious vision loss.

The growing number of vision impaired people opting for higher education and the growing investment in improving their access to education by governments and universities are expected to increase the demand for braille displays. Traditionally, braille is largely read-through raises or bumps on sheets of paper which necessitates the need for physical printouts of the information. This is highly space-consuming and largely inefficient in the current era. For instance, a hard copy of the World Book Encyclopaedia in braille would take up an entire wall of a library. The same book in digital format can be fit into a memory card that can fit inside a pocket. Braille displays consist of rows or cells of surfaces that can continuously represent information displayed on a screen through braille. This allows visually impaired people to read displays and control the device more easily and without assistance.

The American Printing House for the Blind reports a total of 63,357 blind students who requested free reading material in braille, large print, or audio format. The growing number of students with visual impairments who are attaining education degrees is increasing the demand for braille displays. The ease of connectivity to conventional electronic devices allows for easy access and reduces the need for assistance. The increased demand for self-reliance among people with disabilities is another factor that is driving the demand for braille displays.

The market’s growth is restrained by the availability of alternate devices such as audible screen readers and text-to-voice and voice-to-text functionalities in electronic devices. The high cost of braille displays is another factor restraining the growth of the market.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused various supply chain restrictions, fluctuations in prices of raw materials, increased costs of transportation, and other impacts that have impacted the manufacturing of new devices. The pandemic has also increased the adoption of cloud services and other technologies as people begin working from remote locations which necessitates the need for electronic displays. The market for braille displays is expected to grow and bounce back from the initial shocks of the pandemic during the forecast period.
