The online shopping industry is expected to be a major source of employment growth in coming years.
IBISWorld research has revealed establishment numbers are set to rise by an annualised 7.5% over the next five years.
This will be propelled by bricks-and-mortar retailers investing in comprehensive online platforms to complement traditional sales.
Point of sales technicians, web and UX designers and digital marketing coordinators are among roles to benefit from the change.
IBISWorld senior industry analyst Nathan Cloutman said revenue is anticipated to increase by 9.4%
"Warehouse and distribution coordinators are likely to be especially sought after."
The smartphone app developers industry will also enjoy revenue growth of an annualised 10.6% over the five years through 2021-22, with employment growth at a steady annualised 2.2%.
“We’re likely to see many more enterprises join this industry, with low barriers to entry for new players keen to capitalise on emerging smartphone technologies that would benefit from having related apps," Cloutman said.
"The combination of revenue and enterprise growth will drive demand for IT professionals, particularly those with expertise in app-related technologies."
The IT Security Consulting industry is also expected to record employment growth of an annualised 6.0% over the next five years and revenue growth exceeding 8% each year through to 2021-22.
This is on the back of surging demand for digital security, counter-threat technologies, artificial intelligence software and the NBN rollout.
David Jones and Kmart are among retailers to have experienced hacking in recent years.
Data Storage Services is identified as having solid employment growth of 5.9% over the same time frame, due to the NBN rollout and increasing use of cloud storage.
“Surging demand for online data storage solutions is forecast to drive the number of enterprises entering this industry,” Cloutman said.
“This is positive news for cloud management consultants, data centre managers, storage design consultants and storage engineers.”
