The forecast for Business Enterprise Expenditure on R&D in the US aerospace industry indicates a steady decline from 7.22% of BERD performed in manufacturing in 2024 to 7.14% by 2028. This suggests a minimal average annual decrease over this five-year period. The year-on-year variation is marginal, reflecting a stable but downward trend in R&D expenditure as a relative percentage of total manufacturing R&D over these years.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of emerging technologies on R&D priorities, shifts in government policies impacting aerospace funding, and the influence of global market dynamics on US aerospace competitiveness. These factors could significantly alter the current trajectory of R&D spending.
