The forecast for total internal R&D personnel in the repair and installation of machinery and equipment in Germany shows a significant decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 965 full-time equivalents in 2024 and dropping to 449 by 2028. Compared to 2023, where the figure stood at X (not provided), this indicates a substantial decrease over the forecast period.

This downward trend indicates a consistent reduction each year, with the year-on-year percentage variation accentuating this decline. Such a trend suggests a challenging environment for R&D in this sector, possibly due to automation or shifts in industry focus.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements that may reduce the need for internal R&D personnel.
Outsourcing of R&D activities to third parties or international locations.
Potential policy changes or incentives from the German government to encourage increased investment in R&D personnel.
