Leading R&D investing companies based in the EU expect their global research and development investments to grow by five percent annually from 2011 to 2013, according to a survey released today by the European Commission<\/a> in Brussels. The findings by the EC’s Joint Research Centre<\/a> are based on survey responses from 205 mainly larger companies in the EU’s Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard of 1000 European enterprises.<\/p>\n

The anticipated 5 percent growth rate is double last year’s expected R&D investment rate by these companies. It also represents a reversal of the anticipated 2.6 percent cut in R&D expenditures planned in 2009.<\/p>\n

The respondents say they conduct about a quarter of their R&D outside Europe, with 13 percent investing in R&D operations in the U.S. and Canada. The companies report spending about 2-3 percent each in China, India, and other European countries. Most respondents identified their home countries as the most attractive location for R&D, followed by the U.S., China, Germany, and India.<\/p>\n

Companies in the survey say on average 27 percent of their annual sales came from innovative products and services introduced in the past three years. Enterprises in high R&D intensity sectors (e.g., pharmaceuticals, electronics) attribute on average 40 percent of their sales from these products and services.<\/p>\n

Respondents, particularly those in the high R&D intensity sectors, credit the availability of skilled workers and public financial incentives (e.g., grants, subsidies) as factors encouraging R&D by the companies. Costs, time, and conditions related to intellectual property regulations were cited most often as discouraging factors. However, companies in the high R&D intensity sectors place more importance on licensing discoveries from universities and other companies.<\/p>\n
