Paragraph: 16
Businesses neglect inclusive design for disabled consumers, limiting market access
Conclusion
Not all businesses are considering the needs of disabled consumers when bringing products and services to the market. Where accessibility is considered, it is often done so retrospectively, as something to be bolted on to an existing design. Products and services should be inclusive by default. By not embracing inclusive design, businesses risk missing out on the spending power of disabled consumers and restricting the options available to them.
