Software Localization Market Size
The global software localization market was valued at USD 4.9 billion in 2024 and is estimated to register a CAGR of 12.4% between 2025 and 2034.
The trend of microservices architecture is further driving the need for localization at a component level in software development. Today’s applications, particularly SaaS-based services, are based on loosely coupled services which are focused on doing one thing and are built to be deployed around the world. This modularity will enable localized updates, without requiring a total redesign of the system, and make software localization more dynamic, scalable, and crucial, to product launches. Finally, companies can perform A/B tests of micro-features localized to different regions, resulting in a continuous localization feedback loop which serves to directly support.
In addition, by using technologies such as cloud computing and machine learning, which include machine translation software, TMS enables an organization to produce numerous translations while maintaining quality. For instance, in January 2024, Acolad, a language and content service provider, announced its AI based voice-over and dubbing solution. This is a revolutionary development aimed at transforming global content adaptation in translation and localization.
European, Asian and Latin American governments are being tighter on their digital accessibility and multilingual compliance standards. As an example, the Web Accessibility Directive and the laws regarding digital content between the EU require the websites and applications that are made available to the people to be supported in the region languages. Countries such as India and Canada have similar requirements to government and banking apps.
Such laws enforce companies to localize their software products not only to be inclusive, but also to avoid legal charges and to win the trust of the population. Consequently, software sellers and companies are initiating investments in the overall localization strategies that guarantee compliance with the law, and local experiences of users.
New users of digital products need to have personalized and culturally-relevant experiences. Companies now integrate software localization as an essential component of UX as opposed to a back-end solution. It entails RTL (right to left) UX modifications, location specific icons, culturally aware information and local terminology in the app notifications, all of which data enhance the level of engagement as well as retention.
Predominant examples of such brands with hyper-local UX design include Netflix, Spotify, and Airbnb, who have gained regional user loyalties. With localization intersected with UI/UX design, a definite competitive advantage is given to companies where the focus is placed on the experience of being closer to native and broadcasting it, which stimulates an increase in conversion rates and app retention in cross-border markets.
