Methodology: A recent study by Hostinger ranked emerging careers based on demand, using key metrics such as monthly search volume, job vacancies, and annual salary. Data was sourced from reputable job market repositories, including job listing platforms and keyword search analytics tools, ensuring accuracy and relevance. Metrics were normalized for comparability, with a weighted scoring system applied to calculate a composite demand score on a 0-100 scale. Annual salary was included as a contextual metric, providing insight into financial incentives but not directly influencing the composite score. To ensure fairness in ranking, higher job vacancies and search volumes resulted in higher scores, while lower values were adjusted proportionally.
