Accessibility is Good for Business!
In the United States, individuals with disabilities control an impressive $490 billion in disposable income, according to the American Institutes for Research. This demographic represents a vast yet frequently overlooked market segment with significant spending power.
Across Canada, the spending power of people with disabilities is estimated at about $25 billion annually, as reported by the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC). This figure highlights the economic potential that inclusive digital content can unlock for businesses.
In the United Kingdom, the commercial sector faces the risk of losing out on £249 billion a year by failing to cater to consumers with disabilities, per insights from the UK Government. This staggering figure underscores the financial impact of overlooking digital accessibility.
In Australia, approximately 4.4 million people live with a disability, representing nearly 18% of the population. According to the Australian Network on Disability (AND), the total disposable income of people with disabilities, their families, and carers is estimated at $40 billion annually. Businesses that prioritize digital accessibility can tap into this significant market while also ensuring compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and the Australian Human Rights Commission’s accessibility guidelines.
In Europe, the European Accessibility Act (EEA) is reshaping digital inclusion, requiring businesses that operate in EU markets to meet strict accessibility standards by 2025. With over 135 million people in the EU living with a disability, failing to meet accessibility requirements could result in exclusion from public contracts, financial penalties, and lost market opportunities.
What is your business doing to ensure it is inclusive and accessible to all potential customers?
Why Grackle for Business?
Meet Legal Standards and Avoiding Risk
Many countries require digital accessibility through laws and regulations like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the US and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) globally. Ensuring compliance helps businesses avoid legal risks, lawsuits, and reputational damage.
Strengthen Brand Reputation and Trust
A commitment to accessibility enhances a company’s reputation, showing customers that inclusivity is a priority. Businesses that embrace accessibility are more likely to gain customer trust, loyalty, and positive word-of-mouth recommendations.
Foster an Inclusive Workplace
Accessibility isn’t just for your customers – it benefits employees too. Providing accessible technology and tools creates a more inclusive workplace, improves morale, and enhances productivity, particularly for employees with disabilities.
Reach a Larger Market
With over a billion people worldwide living with disabilities, making digital content accessible unlocks a significant customer base. Inclusive design allows businesses to engage with more users, increase sales, and expand market reach.
Reduce Costs Through Early Accessibility
Investing in accessibility from the start is more cost-effective than fixing issues later. Designing with accessibility in mind reduces the need for expensive retrofitting, redesigns and legal penalties down the line.
Create a Better User Experience for Everyone
Accessibility improvements – such as clear navigation, structured content, and proper color contrast – enhance usability for all users, leading to higher engagement, satisfaction, and retention rates.
Boost SEO and Online Visibility
Many accessibility best practices align with SEO strategies, helping businesses rank higher in search results. Features like alt text, transcripts, and structured headings improve searchability while making content more accessible.
Driving Innovation and Competitive Advantage
Accessibility challenges businesses to think creatively and strategically about how they design digital products and services. Inclusive design fuels innovation, enhances differentiation, and keeps companies ahead of competitors.
