Scope of the Report

Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers

The primary factors driving the growth of the global machine translation market are:

• Increasing volume of big data all over the internet
• Increasing popularity of cloud-based applications
• Increase in the number of students undertaking higher education courses abroad

The machine translation (MT) industry is witnessing an expansion as a result of emerging demand for content localization. Companies are finding more and more reasons to localize their products, applications, and websites. Companies world-wide recognize their attractiveness to the global market place and are looking forward to meet the demands of customers outside their local market. Localization aids establishments to communicate with the target market in its language and integrate industry-specific aspects with the particular culture and develops a local appeal. A localization strategy is significant not only to recognize the demand of a company’s product in the target country, but also to consider all the benefits and risks before making any decision. Further, it enables organizations to develop effective marketing campaigns, as best marketing campaign becomes useless without good localization. Some organizations are not able to reach their full potential, simply due to the lack of localization, as their target audience does not understand what they want to convey.

Major roadblocks to the implementation of localization include cost, speed, and quality of localization projects. MT helps to reduce the cost associated with translation and time-to-market, and is best relegated to huge volumes of content where exact translations are not required, such as user generated content and web chats. Though, due to uneven quality issues of MT, many establishments are using it as a first-pass translation tool followed by a human post-editing to maintain translation quality while keeping expenses relatively low. Establishments across the globe, are increasingly integrating MT tools and services to create a more successful impact on any local market

Challenges

Threat from free translation service providers may hinder the growth of the global machine translation market.
