The forecast for the intramural R&D expenditure in the government sector in the US shows a gradual decline, from 0.25% of GDP in 2024 to a stable 0.23% from 2026 onwards. The projected year-on-year decreases from 2024 to 2025 and from 2025 to 2026 are modest but notable, with stability expected thereafter. This represents a shift towards slightly lower government spending on R&D as a percentage of GDP.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes that might stimulate increased R&D funding. Additionally, technological advancements and global competitive pressures could alter government expenditure priorities in upcoming years.
