Nimdzi Insights Launches 2026 Language Industry Survey
SEATTLE, WA — February 4, 2026 — Nimdzi Insights, a leading market research and international consulting company, announced the launch of its 2026 annual language industry survey. This year’s initiative marks a significant evolution in research methodology, reflecting the rapidly transforming landscape driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and the convergence of services and technology.
The survey serves as the primary data collection vehicle for the highly anticipated Size and State of the Language Industry report and the Nimdzi 100—the definitive global ranking of the industry's largest players. Since 2018, Nimdzi’s annual flagship report has been accessed more than 65,000 times, underscoring its role as a cornerstone of industry intelligence.
Recognizing the "blurring lines" within the sector, Nimdzi has expanded its ranking qualifiers for 2026. The new, more inclusive format will list traditional Language Service Providers (LSPs) and interpreting companies alongside organizations offering pure technology solutions.
“AI is reshaping everything from workflows to business models,” Nimdzi 100 program lead Marjolein Groot Nibbelink stated. “Our 2026 survey is designed to capture these deeper insights, ensuring our benchmarking remains the most comprehensive resource for buyers, investors, and industry professionals alike.”
In a commitment to representing the full spectrum of the market, Nimdzi emphasized that "size doesn't matter" for participation. In addition to the Nimdzi 100, the data collected will power a dedicated mid-market report and a specialized spotlight on women-led companies. To facilitate the data-gathering process for complex organizations, Nimdzi has provided a downloadable PDF workbook, allowing teams to collaborate on answers before final submission.
Language industry stakeholders—including LSPs, Language Technology Providers (LTPs), and interpreting firms—are invited to contribute to this essential research. The deadline for submission is February 20, 2026.
