CSA Research relies on a statistical methodology (read more here), and a representative sample of LSPs from CSA Research’s supplier population of 27,000 LSPs, and accounts for double and triple counting to size the language market.
Each year we combine the annual baseline with our annual Global Market Study, quarterly confidence surveys, and macro-economic data to produced three possible predictions.
This blend of annual in-depth data collection, quarterly confidence surveys and IMF data ensures our sizing model remains robust and reflective of the real-world conditions on a quarterly basis.
To estimate the market size, we rely on our own database of 27,000 LSPs and a statistically representative sample with a 95% confidence level.
