In the competitive world of biotechnology, innovation is the lifeblood of success. Gilead Sciences, Inc. and United Therapeutics Corporation are two titans in this arena, each with a distinct approach to research and development (R&D) investment. From 2014 to 2023, Gilead Sciences consistently outpaced United Therapeutics in R&D spending, with an average annual investment nearly 12 times greater. Notably, in 2019, Gilead's R&D expenses surged to a peak, marking a 220% increase from 2014. Meanwhile, United Therapeutics showed a steady, albeit smaller, growth in R&D investment, peaking in 2019 with a 388% increase from its 2014 figures.
