Canada Accessibility Testing Market

Canada Accessibility Testing Market Overview:

The Canada accessibility testing market size reached US$ 110 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 153.7 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.60% during 2024-2032. The rising stringent regulatory requirements, growing awareness of digital inclusivity, technological advancements in testing tools, an increasing demand for accessible digital content from diverse user groups, including those with disabilities, and the growing corporate social responsibility initiatives are some of the major factors driving the market growth.

Canada Accessibility Testing Market Trends:

Stringent Regulatory Requirements

The Canadian government enforces robust accessibility laws, such as the Accessible Canada Act, requiring organizations to ensure their digital content is accessible to all, including individuals with disabilities. Compliance is critical for businesses to avoid legal issues and expand their market reach, driving the demand for accessibility testing services. For instance, in May 2024, as part of National Access Ability Week 2024, the Minister of Diversity, Inclusion, and Persons with Disabilities, Kamal Khera, launched a new call for proposals (CFP) under the small projects component of the Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF). More inclusive and accessible spaces, services, and workplaces are critical to helping Canadians, including persons with disabilities, to fully participate and meaningfully contribute to society and the economy. The Government of Canada is strongly committed to supporting organizations that increase accessibility and inclusion in their communities and contribute to creating barrier-free access for everyone. Minister Khera also announced over $18.7 million in funding for 264 projects submitted under the EAF small 2022 CFP process that are driving positive change in communities across the country. This funding is in addition to the $70.8 million announced in May 2023, for 902 accessibility projects that are helping to increase the social and labor market participation of persons with disabilities, which brings the Government’s total investment under the 2022 CFP to more than $89 million.

Technological Advancements in Testing Tools

The rising innovations in automated testing solutions and AI-driven tools facilitate comprehensive and efficient accessibility testing, thus contributing to the market growth. These advancements enable organizations to effectively meet accessibility standards, ensuring their digital assets are inclusive. The ease and efficiency provided by these advanced tools drive their adoption and contribute to the growth of the accessibility testing market in Canada. For instance, in May 2024, TD Bank Group (TD) and March of Dimes Canada (MODC) announced their collaboration to integrate the TD Accessibility Adapter, an accessibility browser plug-in, across the March of Dimes Canada (MODC) footprint, including service users and MODC employees across Canada. The tool, which enables users to personalize their online experience by updating their individual accessibility preferences, includes accessibility features such as reading guides, adjustable font size, turning off auto-play videos, a dyslexia-friendly font, and monochrome and dark modes. It is also explicitly designed to be used without using overlays and to co-exist with other assistive technologies, such as standalone screen magnification software.
