Vue.js 3 + Pinia (state management — Vuex replacement) + TanStack Query commands premium for engineers who understand the modern Vue.js stack.

Market Outlook

Vue.js Developers build frontend applications using Evan You's progressive JavaScript framework. Vue.js remains strong in the UK market for enterprise applications, particularly in European companies with UK offices and in specific verticals (travel technology, content management, B2B portals). Vue.js with Nuxt.js (the Vue.js equivalent of Next.js) is the production standard for Vue.js applications in 2026.
