在預測期內,全球語言服務市場預計將以6.6%的複合年成長率成長。筆譯和口譯服務外包的增加,預計將在預測期內推動語言服務市場的成長。筆譯和口譯服務的外包是指從外部來源向專業翻譯機構採購語言服務。筆譯和口譯服務的外包有助於語言服務的成長,因為它提供大量的基礎設施,以支持使專業翻譯可行的技術。根據歐洲一家翻譯公司協會在2022年5月進行的歐洲語言行業調查,在歐洲,2022年外包給語言公司的業務平均(加權)比例約為22.0%,其水平在所有中小型企業中基本一致。這比2020年報告的18.0%的數位高得多。因此,筆譯和口譯服務外包的增加正在推動語言服務市場的成長。
技術進步是語言服務市場的一個主要趨勢。市場上的主要參與者正在利用人工智慧和機器學習創造技術先進的產品,以保持市場競爭力。例如,2022年10月,美國的跨國技術集團Meta公司推出了一個由人工智慧驅動的無文字語言的語音翻譯系統。這個人工智慧驅動的語音翻譯系統是通用語音翻譯器(UST)項目的一部分,該項目打算開發人工智慧系統,實現所有語言的即時語音翻譯,包括那些會說但不經常書寫的語言。這個人工智慧系統可以減少語言障礙,促進現實世界和元世界的溝通和理解。
Title: Global Language Services Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Translation Services, Localization Services, and Interpreting Services), by Component (Software and Hardware), by end-user (BFSI, IT and Telecom, Media and Entertainment, Retail and E-Commerce, Healthcare, Government, Education, Travel and Transport) Forecast Period (2023-2030).
The global language services market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period. An increase in the outsourcing of translation and interpreting services is expected to propel the growth of the language services market over the forecast period. The outsourcing of translation and interpretation services refers to procuring language services from outside sources to a professional translation agency. Outsourcing of translation and interpretation services aids in the growth of language services as it offers substantial infrastructure, to support the technologies that make professional translation feasible. According to the European Language Industry Survey, conducted by a Europe-based association of translation companies, in May 2022, in Europe, the average (weighted) percentage of business that is outsourced to language companies is around 22.0% in 2022, with levels that are largely consistent across all small and medium-sized businesses. This is much higher than the reported 2020 figure of 18.0%. Therefore, an increase in the outsourcing of translation and interpretation services is driving the growth of the language services market.
Technological advancement is a key trend in the language services market. Major players in the market are creating technologically advanced products using artificial intelligence and machine learning to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in October 2022, Meta Inc., a US-based multinational technology conglomerate, launched an AI-powered speech translation system for an unwritten language. The AI-powered speech translation system is a part of the universal speech translator (UST) project which intends to develop AI systems that enable real-time translation from speech to speech in all languages, including those that are spoken but not frequently written. This AI system can reduce language barriers to promote communication and understanding in both the real world and the metaverse.
The global language services market is segmented based on type, component, and by end-user. Based on type, the market is bifurcated into translation services, localization services, and interpreting services. By component, the market is bifurcated into software and hardware. Further, by end-user, the market is sub-segmented into BFSI, IT and Telecom, media and entertainment, retail and e-commerce, healthcare, and government. Among these, the IT and Telecom sub-segment accounted for the dominant share of the market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the rapid advancements in the IT and telecommunication industry leading to software development for accurate translation and interpretation results.
An increase in demand for non-English languages is expected to propel the growth of the translation services market. The range of translation services is expanding to meet client demands based on preferred languages. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in the US, 21.7% of households do not speak English. This translates to one in every five people. There are 3.3 billion multilingual people in the globe, accounting for 43.0% of the global population. Therefore, the increasing demand for non-English languages is driving the growth of the translation services market. Technological advancements are the key trend gaining popularity in the translation services. Major companies operating in the market are focusing on developing technologically advanced solutions. For instance, in October 2022, Google LLC, a US-based technology company launched Translation Hub, a new cloud service that allows companies to translate documents on a self-service basis.
Regional Outlook
The global language services market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America). Among these, the Asia-Pacific region is projected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, due to the increasing demand for foreign language skills in countries such as China and India.

The players in the market are looking to strengthen their competitiveness through various efforts such as merger and acquisitions, increased R&D, and new product launches. For instance, in May 2022, Interpreters Unlimited headquartered in San Diego, California introduced a mobile app called New Interpreter Services for booking language services. The app uses IU's proprietary auto-scheduling system on the back end which can book a linguist within minutes. All appointment management is handled completely inside the app.
