(BOSTON) February 12, 2015 – Interpreting services increasingly touch the general public in everyday situations, especially when it comes to legal and medical language access. It enables hospitals, courts, and businesses to convey messages to millions of people each day. To assess the state of this fast-growing segment of the language services industry, independent market research firm Common Sense Advisory (CSA Research) conducted a survey of 197 buyers of interpreting services from 25 countries. The survey captured buy-side organizations of all sizes. Buyers in the business or private sector accounted for 26% of responses, followed by medical and health care (19%), and legal and judiciary (10%).
The results are detailed in the report “The State of the Interpreting Market,” which focuses on four issues: the demand for interpretation, vendor sourcing practices, interpreter qualification requirements, and vendor management and measurement.
Key findings in the report include:
“The need for interpretation follows economic and business trends,” comments Hélène Pielmeier, the report’s lead analyst. “Companies often add language capabilities when entering new markets. Meanwhile health care settings will work to comply with language access policies for patients with limited proficiency in the local language,” she adds.
