The manufacturing vertical represents an enormous opportunity for all suppliers in the language services industry, be they freelancers, small agencies, single-language vendors, medium-sized firms, or large multi-language vendors. Estimated at US$11.13 billion in 2012, this vertical corresponds to one-third of the total market for outsourced language services of US$33.52 billion (see "The Language Services Market: 2012," May12). With hundreds of sub-sectors to serve, companies with an established offering for manufacturers, as well as those new to the vertical, can carve out new sources of revenue.
Manufacturing buyers face several global content challenges that won't disappear anytime soon.
