The number of R&D researchers in China per billion persons is forecasted to grow steadily from 1.82 in 2024 to 1.98 in 2028. Compared to 2023, this demonstrates a consistent upward trajectory. Year-on-year, the forecast indicates approximately a 2.20% increase, suggesting a positive trend in China's commitment to enhancing its R&D capabilities. Over the five-year forecast, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be around 2.16%, assuming a steady pace of increase in research investments.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of government policies on R&D investments, the emergence of new technological fields that may require more specialized researchers, and the ongoing international collaborations that could influence domestic R&D growth rates.
