Key findings include:
- 40% of people with disabilities would not purchase from or recommend a brand if its communication is not accessible.
- 60% of people with disabilities would choose a brand and recommend it if its communication is accessible.
- 20% of those with disabilities said social media was more difficult to use than web browsers (12%), audio streaming (11%), or video streaming (9%).
- 54% of participants use an assistive tool to consume social media and 30% still experience issues due to the content.
