Globally, ER&D spending has accelerated post pandemic to witness a growth of 7-8% CAGR. ER&D organizations improved investments to bridge the gap between evolving market demands and offerings. Proliferation of new technologies such as Gen AI, as well as omnipresence of digital engineering across all sectors served as a catalyst for increased investments and growth.

As per Nasscom-BCG “Seizing the ER&D Advantage – Frontiers for 2030” report, global ER&D spend is expected to grow from the current $1.8 trillion to $3.3 trillion in 2030. Developments within various sectors is expected to drive this growth.
