The R&D budget for security in France is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the budget stood higher than the projected figures, indicating a decrease. Year-on-year, the budget shows a decreasing trend with reductions observed each following year: 2025 compared to 2024, 2026 compared to 2025, and continuing through 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period reflects a consistent negative trend, which shows reduced investment focus on security R&D.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements and geopolitical factors that might reverse the declining investment trend. Additionally, shifts in global security paradigms could influence the R&D budget allocation in subsequent years.
