Apart from this, huge costs of assistive technologies for visually impaired owing to an increase in taxes and import duties as well as a rise in costs of raw materials can decimate the demand for assistive technologies for visually impaired, thereby creating hurdles in the path of the global market surge. However, innovations in braille computer screens are projected to create new growth opportunities for the global market.
