Top UK Tech Trends to Watch in 2025
As we enter 2025, the tech industry is undergoing rapid transformations that will significantly impact businesses, industries, and daily life.
At Corecom Consulting, we are dedicated to staying ahead of these changes by providing expert recruitment solutions and strategic insights to senior tech professionals and businesses throughout the UK.
In this article, we’ll explore the top tech trends for 2025, highlighting the innovations and developments set to continue shaping the future of the tech industry.
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning
Unsurprisingly, Artificial Intelligence continues to dominate the technology conversations, with 2025 bringing a stronger emphasis on test automation, data analysis, and the growing need for responsible AI practices in business operations.
This year, AI will be further integrated into industries like tech, healthcare, and finance. Additionally, with advancements in deep learning and natural language processing, AI systems are expected to become more intuitive, potentially being capable of understanding human emotions and enabling smarter (and empathetic) customer service.
2. Software Engineering and Development
Full-stack developers are highly in demand, with a sudden surge of businesses prioritising agile methodologies to accelerate product development and deliver faster, more efficient solutions. Their ability to seamlessly work on both front-end and back-end makes them valuable assets for organisations looking to stay competitive in today’s market.
“We’ve seen a massive increase from clients that are looking for full-stack developers so having that in your arsenal is going to really help you progress in 2025.”
– Lewis Horwell, Associate Director and Head of Perm Practice at Corecom Consulting
3. Cloud and Infrastructure
As businesses migrate to the cloud, demand for cloud and infrastructure professionals continues to grow. Companies still require experts in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to optimise operations, ensure security, and drive scalability. Professionals skilled in managing cloud environments and implementing hybrid solutions have a good chance of being successfully hired in these businesses.
Luckily, we have a dedicated team that specialises in all-things Cloud and Infrastructure, with industry expertise in key technologies like MS Azure, AWS, VMware, Office 365, Cisco, SQL, Linux, and more. Our experience enables us to connect candidates to roles that align with both their technical skills and cultural fit. Whether you are searching for Cloud Expert, Infrastructure Specialist, or Network Architect roles, we’ve got you covered.
4. Testing and Automation
Test automation tools are expected to integrate seamlessly with DevOps pipelines, enabling faster releases and higher-quality software. Predictive analytics will be used to identify potential issues before they arise, reducing downtime. Additionally, the rise of low-code/no-code platforms will allow teams to automate testing with minimal technical expertise.
Here at Corecom Consulting, we recognise the shift from primarily manual roles to test engineers needing a stronger technical aptitude to meet our clients’ evolving needs. That’s why our test consultants have spent years building a wide network of testers across various disciplines, including Automation and Performance Engineering.
