In 2023, the Total Internal R&D Personnel in Administrative and Support Service Activities in Germany stood at an unspecified level. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 demonstrates a gradual decrease, with respective values decreasing from 591 FTEs in 2024 to 568 FTEs in 2028. The year-on-year percentage decrease is approximately 1% each year, illustrating a subtle but consistent downward trend. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects this decline, suggesting strategic adjustments may be necessary.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impacts of technological advancements on R&D activity and possible shifts in economic conditions that could either mitigate or exacerbate this downward trend. Monitoring policy changes and investment in innovation within the sector might provide opportunities to reverse the decline in R&D personnel.
