Three US pharmaceutical companiesshowed especially strong R&D growth in 2010: Merck (47%), Abbott (35.7%)and Pfizer (21.4%). By contrast, the biggest EU-company in the sector (Sanofi-Aventis, France) has dropped this year out of the top ten ranks and is now 14 th .Another tendency among the top 50 is high R&D investment growth in ICTcompanies: LG (39.5%), Oracle (38.9%), Google (32.3%) and Samsung(24.9%). However, some automobile companies severely hit by last year’seconomic and financial crisis, present remarkable R&D growth: Daimler(16.5%), General Motors (14.7%) and BMW (13.3%).The pharmaceuticals & biotechnology sector strengthens its position asthe biggest sector in terms of R&D, while the other two top sectors(technology hardware & equipment and automobiles & parts) are nowrecovering from last year's downturn.Pharmaceuticals & biotechnology, technology hardware & equipment andautomobiles & parts are the top three sectors constituting more than half ofworldwide R&D investment. This has hardly changed since the first Scoreboardin 2004.R&D investments of pharmaceuticals &biotechnology companies grew by 6.2%in 2010, a little more than in 2009. Technology hardware & equipment andautomobiles & parts are recovering from the significant reductions observed in2009 (from -6.4% to 3.5% and -11.6% to 0% respectively). Upswings in R&Dinvestments were also observed for most other sectors, except for chemicalsand fixed line telecommunications, as well as improved sales growth comparedto 2009.3The 2011 EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard 3
