6 In addition to performing our annual R&D spending analysis, we examined the globalization of R&D R&D Spending and Trends Analysis of R&D Spending and Trends Annual R&D spending across the 1,000 largest R&D spenders globally (publicly-traded firms) R&D spending by region and industry (absolute spending, growth, and proportion of total) R&D intensity (spending as a percent of revenue) Top 20 R&D spenders globally 10 Most Innovative Companies Methodology Spending determined on the basis of companies annual reports from their most recent fiscal year, as of June 30, 2015 Most Innovative Companies determined based on a web survey of 369 senior R&D executives and Innovation leaders The Globalization of R&D Understanding Global R&D Flows How much and where in the world are companies choosing to spend their R&D How regional spending has changed since we last looked at this topic in 2008, Beyond Borders Methodology We researched the global R&D footprint of: Top 100 companies from the Global Innovation 1000 Top 50 companies in the largest three industries: auto, healthcare, and computing & electronics Top 20 companies in industrials, and software & Internet This resulted in 207 companies reflecting overlap which are headquartered in 23 countries, conducting R&D activities at 2,041 R&D sites in more than 60 countries, and represent 71% of the total Global Innovation 1000 R&D spend. 5

7 Introduction R&D spending and trends Globalization of R&D 6

8 Executive Summary In 2015, R&D spending by the Global Innovation 1000 increased 5.1% to $680 billion, the largest year-over-year increase since R&D spending is now in line with the long-term trend of R&D spending growth of 5.4% over the last 10 years. R&D intensity spending as a percent of revenue - also spiked to 3.7% from 3.5% in 2014, which is the result of falling revenues experienced by the Global Innovation Similar to what happened in 2010 after the Great Recession, companies tend to stick with their innovation program despite cyclical revenue fluctuations. Software & Internet had the highest year-over-year growth rate (27%) of all the industries, which propelled it past the industrials sector to become the fourth-largest industry by R&D spend. Apple made its first-ever appearance in the Top 20 R&D Spenders list and has an intensity of 3.3%, compared to an average of 12.5% for the other 19 companies on the list. Apple and Google remain the two most innovative companies, according to our survey respondents, while Tesla jumps to third place, pushing Amazon down to fifth. Toyota rejoins the ranking at number 10 after a two-year hiatus. 7

19 Introduction R&D spending and trends Globalization of R&D 18

20 Executive Summary R&D is now a global activity for the vast majority of major corporations, as 94% conduct R&D in countries beyond their home country. Asia has become the number one region for corporate R&D spending, Europe has fallen to number three, and North America remains in second place. In our 2008 study, this order was reversed. Asia s rise was driven by strong imports and domestic R&D spending. Most notably, China increased in-country R&D spending by 79% and is closing in on the U.S. as the largest country destination for imported R&D. The U.S. is still the largest in-country (domestic and imported) R&D spender. However, its overall lead is shrinking against most Asian countries, but expanded over most Western European countries. Europe s fall to third-largest region for R&D spending was the result of low growth in domestic and imported R&D, and high growth in exported R&D; most noticeably in France and Germany. Surveyed R&D professionals ranked access to talent and proximity to customers higher than tax advantages in choosing where to conduct R&D. 19

21 The largest spenders by region have remained the same, but where they spend their R&D has changed Corporate R&D by Companies Headquartered Region 2007 & 2015 $US Billions Corporate In-Region (Domestic & Imported) R&D 2007 & 2015 $US Billions +37% +37% $351 0% 24% 34% $480 1% 25% Rest of World Asia 30% Europe In 2015, almost half of all R&D spend came from North American companies, but only about a third of all R&D was actually done in North America. $351 4% 27% 34% $480 5% 35% 33% Rest of World Asia North America 42% 45% North America 35% 28% Europe Asia is now the top regional destination for R&D spending, followed by North America and Europe. In 2007, that order was reversed. Source: Strategy& 2015 Global Innovation 1000 analysis 20
