Market & Data Insights - IT Sector
The UK technology labour market is expected to strengthen in 2026, with vacancies for IT professionals forecast to rise by 20.4% year on year. Although Indeed reported an overall decline in UK job postings during the first half of the year, demand for artificial intelligence skills reached a record high. This indicates an increasingly selective labour market, with employers controlling overall headcount while continuing to invest in technology capabilities that improve productivity, automation and growth.
