Big data is an area that has grown rapidly in a large number of industries in recent years – not least among food manufacturers.
Figures show that the number of new big data roles advertised by these companies has increased in recent months.
The number of newly advertised positions was 155 in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 117 in the last three months of the previous year and compared to 61 in the third quarter of 2020.
The numbers are compiled by GlobalData, which tracks the number of new job postings from key companies in various sectors over time. These job advertisements are then classified thematically by means of text analysis.
GlobalData’s thematic approach to sector activity aims to group key company information by topic to see which companies are best positioned to weather the upheavals that will affect their industries.
These key topics, which include big data, are selected to „cover all of the issues that keep a CEO up at night”.
If we track them across job advertisements, we can see which companies are leading on certain topics and which are lagging behind – and most importantly, where the market is expanding and shrinking.
