U.S. Corporate R&D Investment, 1994 – 1999 with Advance Estimates for 2000

January 01, 2001

The Commerce Department’s Office of Technology Policy report indicates research and development investment in 2000 rose sharply by 9.3 percent in inflation-adjusted terms, increasing from $145.6 billion in 1999 to an estimated $162.7 billion in 2000. The increase reverses a five-year trend of slowing annual percentage increases in corporate R&D investment and approaches the high of a 10.2 percent annual increase set in 1995.
