Recent Increase in R & D to GDP Ratio Driven by Increases in Experimental Development
The ratio of U.S. research and development ( R&D ) to gross domestic product ( GDP ) , at 3.40 % in 2021, exceeded 3 % for the first time in 2019. The previous peak of the R&D-to-GDP ratio was in 1964. Focusing on the long-term trends masks changes over the past decade that have driven R&D to account for over 3 % of the value of domestically produced goods and services.

Business Sector Increases Funding for Basic Research
Expenditures on the performance of basic research funded by the business sector have increased dramatically over the past 2 decades. Funding from the business sector for basic research has increased from $ 10.4 billion in 2000 to an estimated $ 36.0 billion in 2021 in constant 2012 dollars. Longer-term trends in funding shares show a decreased relative importance of the federal government as a funding source of basic research.
