The R&D spending by the Billion Dollar spenders totalled up to $471B, with five new companies entering the billion dollar R&D spender club this year. It also added that increased demand for embedded and software content is driving the R&D spend.

The Global R&D spending continues to stay highly consolidated with top 100 R&D spenders accounting for two-third of the total R&D spend, it read. Laying specifics on the addressable Engineering and R&D globalization and services opportunity, the Zinnov study pegged opportunity to be around $215B. The current addressed market stands tall at $85B, of which $34B is the Current Addressed ER&D market through offshore in-house R&D Centres, while $51B is the Addressed ER&D Globalisation & Services market through outsourcing partners.

Speaking about the findings, Pari Natarajan, CEO, Zinnov said, "R&D Globalization as a phenomenon is here to stay with locations in emerging economies being the hotspot. Our findings show that the overall R&D Globalisation in Emerging Economies stand at $34B ".

"The drivers for outsourcing have changed tremendously over the last year and some newer trends have emerged like the R&D Service providers exploring engineering opportunities beyond Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC) activities; Emergence of End-to-End Full stack Product Engineering Service providers and the Rise of the Global-Shore model, etc.", he added.

With the Total Addressable R&D Globalisation & Services opportunity in 2016 at $232B this is estimated to reach $289B by 2021. Embedded and Software engineering constitute ~76% of the R&D outsourcing addressable market, said the Zinnov report.
