The forecast for total internal R&D personnel in the manufacture of electrical equipment in Germany shows a steady increase. From 2024 to 2028, it grows from 26.14 to 28.08 thousand FTEs. Notably, the forecast for 2024 to 2028 indicates a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) signaling consistent year-on-year growth. However, current data doesn't present 2023 figures, making direct historical comparison challenging.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements driving increased R&D investment and personnel needs.
Potential impacts of automation and AI on R&D staffing.
Government policy changes affecting investment in the sector.
