CurbCutOS Warns That Digital Accessibility is a Strategic Imperative for The Future of E-Commerce

The Digital Accessibility Firm Is Supporting Retailers in Meeting EAA Compliance

BOISE, ID, UNITED STATES, May 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the European Accessibility Act (EAA) approaches enforcement, digital accessibility has become a business-critical priority. CurbCutOS, a leading provider of enterprise accessibility solutions, is helping e-commerce organizations proactively align with EAA requirements—while driving performance, customer retention, and long-term brand value.

A New Era for e-Commerce
Accessibility is no longer an optional enhancement, it’s foundational to modern e-commerce strategy. Consumers with disabilities represent a vast and underserved market:
• Individuals with disabilities hold an estimated £274 billion in annual disposable income in the UK alone.
• 72% have abandoned a purchase due to inaccessibility.
• 56% would pay more for products or services that meet their accessibility needs.

For global retailers, these figures highlight a clear imperative: accessible design isn’t just a compliance box to check, it’s a driver of growth, loyalty, and differentiation. Businesses that integrate accessibility can not only reduce abandonment rates but improve engagement across all customer segments.

The Risk of Inaction
Compliance with the EAA is no longer optional for retailers operating in or selling to the EU. In 2024, U.S. federal courts saw over 2,400 accessibility-related lawsuits which is a clear indicator of growing global enforcement. Organizations that fail to act face:
• Financial and legal penalties
• Operational disruption
• Reputational risk in an increasingly values-driven market

Strategic Benefits of Acting Now
Retailers that take a proactive, approach to digital accessibility can unlock substantial returns:
• Expand market reach through accessible, scalable experiences
• Increase customer loyalty among underserved demographics
• Mitigate legal exposure in the EU by ensuring compliance with EAA regulations
