Language Services Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The technology adoption to enhance language translation process efficiency is notably driving the language services market growth, although factors such as open-source language service tools may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the language services industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Language Services Market Driver
The technology adoption to enhance language translation process efficiency is one of the key drivers supporting the language services market growth. The CAT software typically consists of tools such as TM, phrase directories, and other terminology-related databases. It is considered to be effective for technical translations as there is a possibility for a large number of repetitions in technical translations. Some of the vendors that provide CAT software and services are SDL Trados Studio, Smartcat, and memoQ. Owing to its ease of use along with increased and improved efficiency, CAT software experiences significant demand, thereby driving the growth of the market.
Key Language Services Market Trend
Increased emphasis on transcreation is one of the key language services market trends contributing to the market growth. Although the transcreation process has early adopters in the North American and the European region, with many companies, especially in the F&B sector, increasingly using it to connect with users globally and globalize their products, the transcreation of marketing content is still at a nascent stage in emerging regions. For instance, Coca-Cola, as a brand, has used transcreation to provide dedicated websites for each of its country-specific markets. The layout, visuals, and content are different for each country. Such instances may boost the market growth in the forecasted period.
Key Language Services Market Challenge
Open-source language service tools is one of the factors hampering the language services market growth. There are several vendors that provide open-source translation services, most of which are provided online. However, the proprietary versions of these tools can be quite expensive. A single license for SDL Trados Studio can cost thousands of dollars. In addition, there are various open-source TMS tools available in the market, such as Pontoon, GlobalSight, and Zanata. In addition to this, there are a few LSPs that provide free online translation, such as SYSTRAN. The company provides free translations of websites and web pages along with the free translation of emails and files. Thus, the advent of free, open-source translation services is most likely to reduce the price of language translation products during the forecast period, thereby hindering the growth of the market.
