In 2024, the finance, real estate, insurance, rental, and leasing industry added the most value to the GDP of the United States. In that year, this industry added 6.2 trillion U.S. dollars to the national GDP. Gross Domestic Product Gross domestic product is a measure of how much a country produces in a certain amount of time. Countries with a high GDP tend to have large economies, for example, the United States. However, GDP does not take into consideration the cost of living and inflation rates, so it is not a good measure of the standard of living. GDP per capita at purchasing power parity is thought to be more reflective of living conditions within a particular country. U.S. GDP California added the largest amount of value to the real GDP of the U.S. in 2022. California was followed by Texas and New York. In California, the professional and business services industry was the most valuable to GDP in 2022. In New York, the finance, insurance, real estate, rental, and leasing industry added the most value to the state GDP. While the business sector added the highest value to the U.S. real GDP in 2021, it was the information industry that had the biggest percentage change in value added to the GDP between 2010 and 2021.

For the United States, from 2021 onwards, changes to the US BERD survey questionnaire allowed for more exhaustive identification of acquisition costs for ‘identifiable intangible assets’ used for R&D. This has resulted in a substantial increase in reported R&D capital expenditure within BERD. In the business sector, the funds from the rest of the world previously included in the business-financed BERD, are available separately from 2008. From 2006 onwards, GOVERD includes state government intramural performance (most of which being financed by the federal government and state government own funds). From 2016 onwards, PNPERD data are based on a new R&D performer survey. In the higher education sector all fields of SSH are included from 2003 onwards.

Following a survey of federally-funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) in 2005, it was concluded that FFRDC R&D belongs in the government sector - rather than the sector of the FFRDC administrator, as had been reported in the past. R&D expenditures by FFRDCs were reclassified from the other three R&D performing sectors to the Government sector; previously published data were revised accordingly. Between 2003 and 2004, the method used to classify data by industry has been revised. This particularly affects the ISIC category “wholesale trade” and consequently the BERD for total services.

U.S. R&D data are generally comparable, but there are some areas of underestimation:

1. i) Up to 2008, Government sector R&D performance covers only federal government activities. That by State and local government establishments is excluded;
2. ii) Except for the Government and the Business Enterprise sectors, the R&D data exclude most capital expenditures. For the Business Enterprise sector, depreciation is reported in place of gross capital expenditures up to 2014. Higher education (and national total) data were revised back to 1998 due to an improved methodology that corrects for double-counting of R&D funds passed between institutions.

Breakdown by type of R&D (basic research, applied research, etc.) was also revised back to 1998 in the business enterprise and higher education sectors due to improved estimation procedures.

The methodology for estimating researchers was changed as of 1985. In the Government, Higher Education and PNP sectors the data since then refer to employed doctoral scientists and engineers who report their primary work activity as research, development or the management of R&D, plus, for the Higher Education sector, the number of full-time equivalent graduate students with research assistantships averaging an estimated 50 % of their time engaged in R&D activities. As of 1985 researchers in the Government sector exclude military personnel. As of 1987, Higher education R&D personnel also include those who report their primary work activity as design.

Due to lack of official data for the different employment sectors, the total researchers figure is an OECD estimate up to 2019. Comprehensive reporting of R&D personnel statistics by the United States has resumed with records available since 2020, reflecting the addition of official figures for the number of researchers and total R&D personnel for the higher education sector and the Private non-profit sector; as well as the number of researchers for the government sector. The new data revise downwards previous OECD estimates as the OECD extrapolation methods drawing on historical US data, required to produce a consistent OECD aggregate, appear to have previously overestimated the growth in the number of researchers in the higher education sector.

Pre-production development is excluded from Defence GBARD (in accordance with the Frascati Manual) as of 2000. 2009 GBARD data also includes the one time incremental R&D funding legislated in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Beginning with the 2000 GBARD data, budgets for capital expenditure – “R&D plant” in national terminology - are included. GBARD data for earlier years relate to budgets for current costs only.

Market research companies have benefited from research and development (R&D) expenditure growth as companies develop new products to satisfy consumer demand. Downstream companies continue to rely on market research to create new products and campaigns that fit evolving consumer preferences. As companies strive to enhance consumer-centric strategies amid increased consumer spending, demand for tailored market research solutions has surged. A 10.7% surge in corporate profit over the past five years enabled businesses to outsource more of their research operations to professional market researchers. The digital shift has further transformed the landscape, with companies pioneering new research tools to tap into the vast potential of big data to enhance accessibility and participation. These trends have led to revenue growing at a CAGR of 3.8% to an estimated $36.4 billion over the past five years, including an estimated 2.1% boost in 2025 alone. Consumers' and advertisers' growing reliance on the internet has led to new metrics market researchers can use to better understand consumers. These have allowed new companies to enter the industry and driven providers to adjust services and implement new technologies. The rising use of social media to advertise and market new products across platforms like TikTok and Instagram also contributed to the growing demand for market research. These technological advancements improved data collection and analysis methods, offering actionable insights that helped companies refine marketing strategies and develop better products. New opportunities continue to drive revenue growth, but expansions to services and onboarding of new technology cut researchers’ profitability. Moving forward, the industry will benefit from acceleration in R&D budgets and technological and a data procurement evolution. Companies will strengthen their R&D budgets as economic conditions improve, further driving demand for advanced market research tools. The proliferation of online commerce and smart technologies will give researchers unprecedented access to consumer data. Technological developments, such as artificial intelligence (AI), are poised to create new metrics based on human reactions, which companies can leverage to better understand consumer behavior and preferences. Access to these metrics, however, will lead to tightening data privacy regulations, which may result in higher compliance costs that eat into profitability. Finally, growing emphasis on ethical practices, transparency and data security will shape consumer trust and research standards, creating new opportunities and challenges in a rapidly evolving marketplace. Revenue is poised to grow at a CAGR of 2.4% to an estimated $41.0 billion through the end of 2030.
