How have varous drivers impacted the growth of the augmentative and alternative communication (aac) devices market?
The increasing prevalence of communication disabilities is expected to propel the growth of the augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices market going forward. Communication disabilities affect an individual’s ability to comprehend, detect, or apply language and speech effectively, impacting their ability to communicate. The increasing prevalence of communication disabilities can be attributed to both improved diagnosis and rising survival rates of at-risk individuals, which together lead to more accurate detection and reporting of these conditions. AAC devices aid communication by offering alternative ways to express thoughts and needs, improving effectiveness and independence for those with communication disabilities. For instance, in September 2022, according to NHS Digital, a US-based government agency, the number of patients with an open referral for suspected autism rose from over 88,000 in 2021 to over 122,000 in 2022, while those receiving a first appointment within 13 weeks increased from 6,500 in 2021 to over 9,000 in 2022. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of communication disabilities is driving the growth of the augmented and alternative communication (AAC) device market.
