Most of the financial trauma from the worst economic recession in 50 years is now over, and positive economic growth for both the general economy and the R&D community appears likely for the foreseeable future. While there is always the threat of a double- or even triple-dip economic recession, that would not be expected to have an effect on R&D spending.
That said, both general economic and R&D growth for advanced economies, including the U.S. and the European Community (EC), are forecast to be mediocre over the next several years. Economic growth and R&D growth for emerging economies such as China and India, however are already strong and are expected to increase over the next several years, ollowing a relatively minor slowdown during the global recession. China and India had a ombined 7.6% GDP (gross domestic product) growth from 2008 to 2009, compared with a - 3.6% GDP average decline for the other 38 R&D spending countries documented in this report.
