NAICS = 2017 North American Industry Classification System.

a
The Business Enterprise Research and Development Survey does not include companies with fewer than 10 domestic employees.

Note(s):
Detail may not add to total because of rounding. Industry classification is based on the dominant business code for domestic R&D performance, where available. For companies that did not report business codes, the classification used for sampling was assigned. Statistics are representative of companies located in
the United States that performed or funded $50,000 or more of R&D and are not comparable with estimates published for years prior to 2018.
