This March 2025 Cypris research brief analyzes the top five U.S. Industrials sub-sectors — Machinery, Aerospace & Defense, Building Products, Industrial Conglomerates, and Electrical Equipment — profiling the three largest public companies in each by market cap. For each company, the brief examines patent filing trends, key technology focus areas, and R&D spending metrics including intensity ratios from 2022–2024. A central finding is that across all sectors, digitalization and sustainability are converging as the dominant drivers of industrial innovation investment.
What You'll Find in the Report
Who's spending the most on R&D — and why it varies dramatically by sector
Aerospace & Defense companies like GE Aerospace and Boeing lead in R&D intensity, with ratios above 5–7%, driven by long product cycles and government-backed programs, while Building Products firms like Masco spend less than 1% — revealing how sector dynamics shape innovation investment far more than company size alone.
