The forecast for business expenditure on R&D in data processing and hosting in Germany remains constant at 0.15% of R&D expenditure from 2024 to 2028. This stable prediction suggests no significant year-on-year growth and indicates a steady trend without variation over this period. As of 2023, this percentage stood similarly, reflecting a consistent allocation strategy moving forward. Thus, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) remains uncalculated due to unchanging values, implying no growth or decline in the upcoming five years.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of technological advancements, as innovation could spur increased R&D investment.
Regulatory changes, influencing allocation priorities toward data processing and hosting.
Market competition and its effect on driving the need for enhanced R&D funding.
