In 2023, Sweden's higher education R&D expenditure financed by the government stood at 0.57% of GDP. The forecasted data for 2024 to 2028 suggests a stabilization, moving from 0.57% in 2024 to a steady 0.56% from 2025 onwards. Year-on-year variation indicates a minor decrease in 2025 by approximately 1.75% and a stabilization thereafter. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a slight decline over the next five years.

Future trends to watch for:

Government policy changes impacting R&D funding allocation.
Economic fluctuations affecting GDP, as this can alter percentage representation of R&D investment.
Shifts in global R&D priorities which might influence Sweden's approach to higher education R&D funding.
