The forecast for China's total internal R&D personnel in the manufacture of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals, as well as the casting of non-ferrous metals, shows a steady increase from 86.9 thousand in 2024 to 100.52 thousand by 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth of approximately 3.98% on average, underscored by a consistent climbing trend. With the value at 86.9 thousand in 2023, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) projected over the next five years is approximately 3.7%.
Future trends to watch for in this industry include increased investment in clean technologies and the adoption of automation. As China aims to lead globally in sustainable practices, R&D efforts will likely intensify in developing greener production techniques and innovative materials.
