The number of roles in Europe made up 52.1% of total IoT jobs – up from 22.4 per cent in the same quarter in 2020.

The figures are compiled by GlobalData, which tracks the number of new job postings from key companies in various sectors over time. Using textual analysis, these job advertisements are then classified thematically.

GlobalData's approach seeks to group key company information by topic to see which companies are best placed to weather the disruptions coming to their industries.
