R&D Spending: A Tale of Two Tech Giants

In the ever-evolving tech landscape, research and development (R&D) is the lifeblood of innovation. Over the past decade, Salesforce, Inc. and NetEase, Inc. have demonstrated contrasting strategies in their R&D investments. From 2014 to 2023, NetEase's R&D expenses surged by over 1,100%, reflecting its aggressive push into new technologies and markets. In contrast, Salesforce's R&D spending grew by approximately 710%, underscoring its commitment to enhancing its cloud-based solutions.

A Decade of Growth

NetEase's R&D expenditure peaked in 2023, marking a 24% increase from the previous year. Meanwhile, Salesforce's R&D spending reached its zenith in 2023, with a 13% rise from 2022. This data highlights the strategic importance both companies place on innovation, albeit with different growth trajectories.

The Missing Year

Interestingly, 2024 data for NetEase is absent, leaving room for speculation on its future R&D direction.
