In 2023, China topped the list in intramural R&D expenditure in the government sector, marginally ahead of the United States. Germany, Japan, and South Korea were notable contributors, with relatively smaller but significant shares. The growth of these expenditures varied, with Belgium, Sweden, and Croatia showing notable increases. Conversely, Iceland experienced a minor decrease.
For future trends:
- Expect continued high investment from China and the United States, leading innovations globally.
- Watch for increasing contributions from smaller European countries like Poland and Serbia, which have shown strong growth trends.
- Technological shifts and strategic geopolitical changes could influence a redistribution in R&D expenditures.
