In 2023, the R&D budget for security as a percentage of total government support was recorded. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a slight, consistent decline in this budget. Year-on-year, the percentage shows marginal decreases, which suggest a steady but modest decrease in prioritization or allocation towards security R&D over these years. Analyzing the last two years would reveal a mild downward trend, while the last five years would provide a small negative CAGR. This trend indicates a gradual de-emphasis on security R&D in the foreseeable future.
Future trends to watch for include potential reallocations towards emerging security threats, such as cyber-attacks and AI-driven vulnerabilities. Policymakers might need to adjust the R&D focus periodically to accommodate shifts in national security priorities or technological advancements.
