In 2023, Germany's higher education R&D expenditure in all fields stood at an estimated $30.22 billion USD PPP. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts predict a steady increase each year, reaching $35.23 billion USD PPP by 2028. The annual growth rate is approximately 3.2% year-on-year, indicating a consistent upward trend in investment, driven by ongoing prioritization of research and development in higher education sectors.
Looking ahead, it will be important to monitor:
- Government policies and funding changes potentially impacting R&D investment.
- Technological advancements necessitating increased R&D expenditures in emerging fields.
- Economic conditions influencing overall national budget allocations to higher education and research.
