The proportion of beverage companies hiring for ‘robotics’-related positions declined slightly last month, according to recently-released figures.
A total of 33.3% of the companies included in GlobalData’s analysis were recruiting for at least one position in the area during April. The figure represents a decrease on the 36.7% level for robotics-related vacancies in the corresponding month a year earlier.
In March this year, however, the rate was lower, at 28.6%.
Of all advertised positions in the global beverage industry in April, 0.4% were linked to robotics, up from 0.3% in April 2021.
GlobalData's research shows that beverage companies are hiring for robotics jobs at a lower rate than the average for all companies in the firm's job analytics database, which stood at 0.6%.
Robotics is one of the topics that GlobalData has identified as a key disruptive force facing companies in the coming years. Companies that are investing in these areas now are considered to be better equipped to survive unforeseen challenges.
GlobalData's job analytics database tracks the daily hiring patterns of companies across the world, drawing in jobs as they're posted and tagging them with additional layers of data, from the seniority of each position to whether a job is linked to wider industry trends.
