Rise of the Internet of Things Jobs

Known as the Internet of Things (IoT), there are now over 30 billion items with the ability to connect digitally, and the predictive manufacturing industry continues to grow, thanks to the skills of trained professionals. The development of IoT jobs and their crucial role in keeping up with demand has meant that there is no shortage of job opportunities on the horizon. In 2019, nearly two-thirds (61%) of companies globally implemented IoT applications, and that number continues to grow as the world evolves.

With this in mind, Distrelec has analyzed the companies recruiting for IoT jobs, the total number of active listings globally, and the most desirable jobs in 2022.
