The Email Markup Consortium (EMC) released its 2025 study on accessibility in HTML emails, revealing similar issues from previous years.
Out of 443,585 emails analyzed, only 21 passed all accessibility checks, all authored by the same individual representing two brands.
Automated testing is essential but may not catch all accessibility issues, particularly related to internationalization and common email design problems.
The report highlights the lack of support for accessibility features in most email clients, with only one out of 44 evaluated fully supporting essential HTML, CSS, and ARIA features.
