While the sample size is only 1568 it is all we have really.
https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey9/

After a decade of declines, JAWS is once again reported as the most common primary screen reader, with NVDA and VoiceOver both showing notable decreases in primary usage over the last two years.

Respondents with disabilities are more likely to use JAWS and NVDA and less likely to use VoiceOver as their primary screen reader than respondents without disabilities. 5.5% of respondents with disabilities primarily use VoiceOver, compared to 18.5% of respondents without disabilities.

Primary usage varied greatly by region. JAWS usage was much higher than NVDA in Australia (71.4% vs. 21.4%) and North America (63.1% vs. 19.4%), though JAWS usage was lower than NVDA in Europe (40.2% vs. 41.6%), Africa/Middle East (38.5% vs. 61.5%), and Asia (31.5% vs. 39.7%).

Subject: [WebAIM] Mobile platform usage breakdown

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can find out what percentage of disabled people use iOS vs Android?

I need this for a presentation I am giving in just about a week so any info would be greatly appreciated.
