Unleashing the power of data

R&D Spending: A Tale of Two Innovators

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, research and development (R&D) spending is a key indicator of a company's commitment to innovation. Over the past decade, Applied Materials, Inc. and ANSYS, Inc. have been at the forefront of this race. From 2014 to 2023, Applied Materials consistently outpaced ANSYS, with R&D expenses growing by approximately 117%, reaching a peak of $3.1 billion in 2023. In contrast, ANSYS saw a robust 199% increase, culminating in nearly $495 million in the same year.

This trend highlights Applied Materials' aggressive investment strategy, which is nearly six times that of ANSYS by 2023. However, ANSYS's steady growth underscores its strategic focus on niche innovations. As we look to 2024, Applied Materials continues its upward trajectory, while ANSYS's data remains elusive, leaving room for speculation on its future R&D endeavors.
