Why Are Data Analysts in High Demand in 2026?

In 2026, data analysts are highly sought after because companies require clarity and insight from the vast amounts of data generated by online transactions and sensors. Simultaneously, IQE, a Cardiff-based compound semiconductor wafers manufacturer, expects its revenue to grow by over 20% in 2026. This projected increase is driven by the surging demand for light-carrying materials within AI data-centres, helping the company recover from a previous bruising year of financial performance.
