Innovation Spending: A Tale of Two Companies

In the world of biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, research and development (R&D) spending is a key indicator of a company's commitment to innovation. Over the past decade, Sanofi and CRISPR Therapeutics AG have demonstrated contrasting approaches to R&D investment. From 2014 to 2023, Sanofi's R&D expenses have consistently dwarfed those of CRISPR Therapeutics AG, with Sanofi investing nearly 30 times more on average. In 2023, Sanofi's R&D spending reached its peak at approximately $6.7 billion, while CRISPR Therapeutics AG's investment was around $387 million. Despite the disparity, CRISPR Therapeutics AG has shown a remarkable growth trajectory, increasing its R&D spending by over 25,000% since 2014. This trend highlights the dynamic nature of the biotech industry, where smaller companies can rapidly scale their innovation efforts, potentially leading to groundbreaking advancements.
