In 2015, government initiatives and regulatory developments shaped demand for translation services and language technology. Hundreds of millions of dollars from the US and the EU were pledged for projects. New regulations paved the path to increased financial translation demand.
In the private sector, trends like the centralization of translation procurement as well as regional mobile adoption and e-commerce booms loom. Data gathering in social media, electronic delivery of patient reported outcomes in clinical trials, and the discovery process of litigation all point towards additional demand for translation.
