Access to transparent, reliable and up-to-date market data is essential for a well-functioning AT market and improved affordability. To address this need, ATscale is transitioning the information from the Global assistive technology market report into an interactive web platform that will aggregate data on products, prices, specifications and suppliers worldwide.

 

This platform aims to provide easily accessible and digestible market intelligence for buyers, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The foundation of the platform has already been established, with the first phase of development completed in June 2025.

 

The focus for the remainder of the year will be on initiating the second phase (platform development), dissemination, strengthening the quality assurance methodology and ongoing engagement with suppliers.
