Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
The three major growth drivers of the global machine translation market are the higher use of big data, the growing popularity and usage of cloud-based applications, and a larger number of students pursuing their higher studies abroad.
Moreover, the growing demand for localization of websites, products, applications, and other content has also influenced the growth of the global machine translation market. This helps companies to communicate with their target audience more effectively using the local language. In addition, it also offers other significant benefits such as integrating industry-specific facets concerning the specific culture. This helps in creating a fantastic and more effective local appeal.
Machine Translation Software also helps the global machine translation market to grow due to its efficiency. Its licensing and development automatically translate text or speech from one language to another by using different models and algorithms in the process.
The growing need for customization and integration services among several organizations has also augmented the use of machine translation systems. They can tailor them according to their needs and even integrate them into the existing software or workflow.
Another significant contributor to the growth of the global machine translation market is the cloud-based machine translation services. These services are very efficient in providing translation on-demand and their translation solutions are quite scalable. These are also easily accessible via different Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models.
Challenges
The growth of the global machine translation market is somewhat hindered by the threats from free translation service providers. However, better services and technological developments will allow for mitigating such threats and push the global machine translation market northward.
