R&D 100

Five years of R&D spending data reveal some radical fluctuations in intensity for certain industries in our list, including a nasty drop for telecommunications services and materials. The intensity increase in the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology sector far outpaces those of other sectors. "Intensity Change" is calculated by comparing an industry's R&D intensity in 2000 to its intensity in 2004.

Consider these three industries: pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and software.

The R&D 100

They all have very high R&D intensities, but each invests in R&D in its own way, shaped by its own risks, time to market, industrial organization, regulatory regimes, and business models. Pharmaceuticals companies live and die on R&D: their R&D Intensity averages 16.4 percent. Because the vast majority of apparently promising compounds end up as failures, a firm must sink billions of dollars over many years just to get one or two successes. That's why a drug company's fortunes can turn on the result of a single patent trial; it's also why pharmaceutical analysts work ferociously to track R&D projects as they snake their way through the many stages of the pipeline.

Herman Saftlas, who covers some major pharmaceutical companies for Standard & Poor's, says most firms highlight their pipelines much as a manufacturer might account for back orders. So, keep the following in mind as you review our R&D leaderboard. R&D 100. R&D 100.
