Posted under Programming, Technology On By James Steward

Despite big tech’s behemoths ending 2022 with fewer workers on the books, the tech industry as a whole remains robust and the areas of cloud computing, cyber security, AI and blockchain technology will continue to grow and prosper in 2023 and beyond.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), jobs in information security are expected to increase by 35% by the end of the decade, which is faster on average than any other industry, and undoubtedly bolstered by the data from Gartner that predicts spending on information security and risk management products and services will grow by 11.3% to reach $188 billion in 2023.
When it comes to the cloud sector, something that is becoming increasingly synonymous with cybersecurity, 94% of large organizations are expected to maximize a multi-cloud approach in 2023, as focus shifts away from network-centric security to data-centric security, meaning more jobs across the sector. Interestingly, the shortage of cybersecurity workers worldwide (3.4 million to be exact) means 43% of organizations are struggling to find talent, meaning a greater reliance on automation and managed security tools.
Experts also predict that 2023 will see Web3 blockchain technology reach its adoption tipping point to become one of the fastest growing sectors for the next decade, adding $6 trillion to the global economy by 2030.
While cryptocurrency is the dominant part of the sector now, the growth of Web3 and its need for blockchain applications will see the technology infiltrate everything from retail to media, education, entertainment and even energy. Market Research Future also predicts that the banking, financial services and insurance sector will further drive Web3 into a new era, as decentralized finance becomes more prominent.
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) will also continue to accelerate as more immersive ways of communicating and consuming go mainstream. So says GlobalData which expects the marketplace for AR to hit $60 billion in 2023 and reach $332.60 billion by 2028. Similarly, Statista estimates that there will be 1.4 billion mobile AR users worldwide by 2023, up one billion from the 44 million documented in 2019.
