Europe is the fastest-growing region for ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) hirings among beverage companies, according to recent research.

In the three months to the end of December, the number of IoT-related positions advertised in the region accounted for 25.7% of total vacancies related to the theme – an increase on the 13% level during the same quarter a year earlier. Europe was followed by Asia-Pacific, which saw a -6.5 year-on-year percentage point change in IoT roles.

The figures are compiled by GlobalData, which tracks the number of new job postings from key companies in various industries. Using textual analysis, these job ads are then classified thematically to gauge which companies are best placed to weather future industry disruptions.
