In 2024, the UK's R&D budget for Planet and Infrastructure is forecasted at 14.88% of total government support, continuing a steady upward trend. From 2025 to 2028, the budget is expected to increase incrementally each year, reaching 15.43% by 2028. This represents a consistent increase, with year-on-year growth indicating slight but steady improvements. The average annual growth rate over these years suggests a stable commitment to R&D investments in these areas.
Future trends to watch for include policy changes affecting funding allocations, the impact of Brexit on R&D collaborations, and increasing innovation demands from climate change adaptation and infrastructure modernization efforts.
