New research has revealed that the combined market for Internet usability and accessibility is to be worth more than £100 million in 2005.

Increased awareness of the ways in which increased website usability and access can widen customer groups and increase revenues is set to foster growth of 25 per cent to between £108 million and £117 million.

Disabilities.AFreePress.com reports that accessibility spending driven by legal concerns as laws on discrimination and accessibility come in to force.

The large blue chip companies together with the public sector are currently leading the way according to the report by E-consultancy.

Those investing most in accessibility are the financial services, online retail, and public sector/e-government sectors.© DeHavilland Information Services plc
