TALENT Emerging Trends
Digitisation as a Driver for Job Growth What we are seeing
Manufacturing needs automation, data infrastructure, analytics, and advanced control.
Growing roles: automation engineers, simulation & digital-twin specialists, data-driven process engineers.
67% of manufacturers say digitalisation is crucial; yet only 17% have implemented digitalisation at scale.
Large adoption gap means hiring plus upskilling is the fastest path to productivity and quality gains.
50-point gap
Manufacturers can bridge the 50-point gap between recognizing digitalisationʼs importance and successfully scaling it by prioritizing the recruitment and upskilling of specialists in automation, digital twins, and data-driven process engineering.
