Forecast: R&D Budget for Security in the US

Based on the forecasted data, the R&D budget for security in the US is expected to remain relatively stable as a percentage of GDP from 2024 to 2028. The value is projected to be 0.31% for 2024 and 2025, followed by a slight decrease to 0.3% from 2026 onwards. This marginal decline indicates a cautious approach to R&D investment in security relative to the overall economy.

In 2023, the R&D budget for security was at 0.32% of GDP. Comparing it to the projected 2024 value shows a minor year-on-year decrease of approximately 3.1%. A similar trend is observed from 2023 to 2025. Over the last five years, a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is negative, highlighting a gradual reduction in R&D spending relative to GDP.

Future trends to watch for include advancements in cybersecurity technologies, changes in government policies affecting R&D funding, and responses to emerging global security threats. Monitoring these areas will provide insights into potential shifts in budget allocations for security-related R&D.
