Innovation Investment: A Tale of Two Giants

In the ever-evolving tech landscape, innovation is the lifeblood of success. Over the past decade, Analog Devices, Inc. and ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. have been at the forefront of this innovation race. From 2014 to 2023, ASE Technology consistently outpaced Analog Devices in R&D spending, investing nearly 15 times more on average. In 2023, ASE Technology's R&D expenses surged to approximately $25.5 billion, marking a 148% increase from 2014. Meanwhile, Analog Devices saw a steady rise, peaking at $1.7 billion in 2022, a 204% increase from 2014. This disparity highlights ASE Technology's aggressive push towards innovation, while Analog Devices maintains a steady, albeit smaller, investment. As we look to the future, the missing data for 2024 leaves us anticipating how these giants will continue to shape the tech world.
