The forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a gradual decline in the German R&D budget for security as a percentage of total government support. Starting at 3.72% in 2024 and decreasing annually to 3.47% by 2028, the year-on-year percentage change shows a consistent slight decrease. The last five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a minor negative trend, suggesting a reduction in the portion allocated to security R&D.
Future trends to watch include:
- Changes in geopolitical tensions that could impact security priorities.
- Technological advancements requiring increased investment in cybersecurity.
- Government policy shifts towards innovative defense mechanisms.
