According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Screen Reading Software for Blind market size was valued at US$ 133 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 177 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.2% during review period.
Screen Reading Software for Blind is an assistive technology application designed specifically for visually impaired users. Its core function is to convert text information on the screens of electronic devices such as computers and smartphones into perceptible auditory or tactile feedback in real time through speech synthesis or a refreshable Braille display. The software can dynamically track cursor focus, recognize controls, and read aloud user-interactive elements such as button names, menu options, and web page content. It also provides keyboard shortcut navigation, customizable speech speed and tone, and multilingual support. It obtains text content through the underlying operating system interface, enabling non-visual operation and allowing visually impaired users to independently use office software, browse the web, manage emails, and communicate online. As a key tool for digital accessibility, screen reading software for the blind not only eliminates barriers to information access but also provides a technological bridge for visually impaired individuals to equally access the information society in education, employment, and social participation, significantly improving their autonomy and social integration.
The cost structure of Screen Reading Software for Blind primarily consists of R&D (technical team salaries, speech synthesis technology licensing) and ongoing support (customer service, version updates), with marketing expenses typically lower than mainstream software. Its gross profit margin is generally high, reaching over 80% for commercial paid software, mainly due to extremely low marginal replication costs; while the cost of the free built-in version is absorbed by hardware manufacturers as an investment to enhance the product's accessibility and compliance.
The global development of screen reading software for blinds exhibits significant regional imbalances. In developed regions such as North America and Western Europe, the technology is highly mature, deeply integrated as a core function of operating systems, and supported by comprehensive legal safeguards, technical support, and training systems. In East Asia, including China, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, localized screen reader software is developing rapidly, driven by government initiatives and information accessibility policies, and is accelerating its evolution from "usable" to "easy to use." However, in most developing countries, especially in South Asia, Africa, and parts of Latin America, the adoption rate of screen reader software is extremely low due to limitations in economic levels, technological infrastructure, and public awareness. It mainly relies on international non-profit projects for introduction and faces challenges such as insufficient language support and a lack of localized services. Overall, the level of regional development is closely related to local economic and technological strength and the progress of accessibility legislation.
