In 2023, South Korea led the global internal R&D personnel share in the creative industries, with a value share of 58.58, demonstrating strong year-on-year growth of 6.17%. Canada and the UK followed, but with significantly lower shares and modest growth rates. New Zealand experienced the most robust increase at 19.4%. In contrast, countries like Spain and Lithuania saw a decline, with Spain dropping by 1.77% and Lithuania by 10.25%, respectively. Japan, despite a low base, exhibited a notable growth rate of 9.06%.

Future trends may include increased R&D personnel allocation in countries with burgeoning media sectors, driven by digital transformation and demand for innovation in media content delivery. Emerging markets might also see a rise in their global share, influenced by technological advancements and government support. Monitoring policy changes, technological adoption, and economic conditions will be crucial for understanding these shifts.
