KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Disrupted Supply Chains Lead to Lower the Market Demand

Covid badly affected the speech generating devices market due to supply chain disruptions and shortage in raw materials was also observed. Shortage of labor and strict protocols such as lockdowns and restrictions on movement created roadblocks, disruptions in end-use sectors of the product led to lower demand.

LATEST TRENDS

Technological Advancements in Electronic Devices to Augment the Market Demand

A static display speech generating device can be used by people who have cognitive, communicative, or speech difficulty. To communicate a message to a person, these overlay devices may contain words, characters, or graphics. You may expand your vocabulary selections by using a variety of overlays with various devices for each language type. Over the course of the forecast period, market expansion is anticipated to be fueled by the development of static display devices, government funding for special education programs for children with impairments, and increased demand for static display voice production equipment.

Speech generating gadgets will become more and more popular as a result of significant technological advancements in electronic devices and an extended spectrum of problem diagnostics. For instance, MiniTalk, a speech generator, was introduced by Lingraphica. For persons with apraxia of speech and aphasia, a gadget with a 7-inch screen with 7,000 realistic symbols, phrases, and other functions is available.

• According to the U.S. Department of Education, more than 300,000 students with speech impairments in the U.S. had access to speech-generating devices under special education programs in 2023.

• As per the Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA), static display SGDs now support over 50 overlay templates, enhancing device adaptability for users with multiple language needs and disabilities.
