This 40 page PDF R&D Funding Forecast bundle includes the years 1984 through 1989 and also includes reports from 1959 and 1961.
2019 Global R&D Funding Forecast
The U.S. is expected to invest $581.0 billion in R&D in 2019, an increase of 2.7 % over the $565.8 billion invested in 2018. A big part of the 2019 increase comes from a large increase in federal research funding for the FY2019 budget, which was the highest funding increase since 2009.
2021 Global R&D Funding Forecast
The continuing large annual increases in Chinese R&D investments (non-stop for more than 20 years) and the inability of the U.S. to match those increases results in a forecast of China outspending the U.S. (for the very first time) in R&D ($622 billion for China vs $599 billion for the U.S.) in 2021. This nearly 4% difference can be partially explained by a 2% improvement in China’s annual GDP compared to a 4% decline in U.S. annual GDP for 2020.
2022 Global R&D Funding Forecast
For 2022 and the 63rd consecutive year, the editors of R&D World are focusing on the annual global variants of R&D investments for the upcoming calendar year. In this annual report, we document the changing R&D investments in academia, government and industrial organizations for the top 116 R&D investing countries in the world. We look at the reasons for these changes, their effects on current and future spending, and the net technological results.
For 2022, R&D World’s editors forecast that $2.476 trillion will be invested globally in R&D efforts, an increase of 5.43% over the $2.348 trillion that was spent in calendar 2021. More than 80% (81.6% or $104 billion) of that 2022 R&D spending increase can be accounted for by the annual increases in the Top Ten R&D spending countries (U. S. to Brazil).
