In 2023, Germany's government expenditure on R&D in the Humanities and the Arts was approximately USD 1.24 billion PPP. The projection from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady year-on-year increase of around 0.8%, reflecting a consistent but modest upward trend. Calculating the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 reveals an average yearly growth of about 0.8% as well.

Future trends to watch for:

Monitoring the impact of inflation and economic shifts on R&D funding.
Evaluating shifts in policy focus toward digital humanities and arts innovation.
Assessing potential increases in collaboration between public and private sectors in R&D investment.
