In 2023, the global volume of scientific publications in surfaces, coatings, and films was dominated by China, with an impressive lead over other countries such as India and the United States. Emerging economies like India and Brazil showed positive growth trends, while more traditional leaders like the United States, Germany, and Japan faced declines. Noteworthy increases were observed in Saudi Arabia and Peru, highlighting regional shifts in research focus.
Looking ahead, the dynamic growth in countries like Indonesia and Vietnam indicates a geographical redistribution of scientific research capabilities. These trends suggest a diversification of research hubs beyond traditional academic strongholds, potentially leading to novel collaborations and innovation networks globally.
