How the Global Market Survey Works

CSA Research's Global Market Survey (GMS) is the foundation of our market sizing. As the only trusted and methodologically sound survey of its kind in the language services and technology industry, it delivers consistent, transparent, and independently validated data.

We apply the following steps:

Begin with a global population of approximately 27,000 language service providers
Construct a representative sample that reflects the full range of company sizes and geographies
Collect revenue data through quarterly surveys
Integrate macroeconomic inputs from the IMF
Analyze revenue distribution across: Top 10 LSPs: US$4.21 billion (8.1%) Ranks 11-100: US$3.21 billion (6.2%)All others: US$44.52 billion (85.7%)
Produce a total market size estimate: US$51.95 billion in 2024
