Clarivate Analytics | State of Innovation Report 2017: The Relentless Desire to Advance03
As the new CEO of a global company focused on
innovation, our State of Innovation report inspires
me.It not only showcases the latest inventions
from around the world, we’ve also used our
powerful products to uncover some intriguing
analytics and insights about global innovation
trends. This year’s report ofers plenty of surprises
and insights for anyone interested in innovation,
leadership or strategy. I hope you enjoy reading
it as much as I did.
Innovation slows
This year, our report shows a slowing in the pace of
global innovation growth. Compared to last year’s
global volume of patented inventions of 14 percent,
2016 growth is only 8 percent. This dip across the
12 industries is largely due to a slowdown in patented
inventions from China, which in turn may be attributed
to slowing investment in R&D in that country.
Industries charge ahead
Despite slowing R&D investment, featured
industries continue to aggressively innovate,
including consumables, life sciences and hi-tech.
And overall, innovation and developments in science
and technology made meaningful contributions in
the areas of health, energy and the environment.
Some notable examples in this year’s report include:
bacterial infections
composites in aerospace.
Industry crossovers
Looking at the 12 industries highlighted in this report,
one thing you’ll notice is how industry boundaries are
being removed. Where the telecom industry used to
focus only on smaller, sleeker phones, we now see
phone apps controlling the temperature in our home
air conditioning or alarm systems. Similarly, we see
kitchen appliances in the home appliance (“domotics”)
industry crossing boundaries into technology, where
the Internet of Things allows them to “communicate”
with each other and save energy. There are few aspects
of our everyday lives that aren’t touched by the
innovations featured in this report.
Please explore these pages and discover for yourself
the latest innovations being developed to address
today’s global challenges and help provide
tomorrow’s solutions.

The data was compiled
using Clarivate products
that index more than
18,000 journals, as well
as proceedings papers,
book chapters and other
materials, plus information
on over 71 million patents.

Methodology
In seeking to understand today’s state of innovation,
our report uses an analytical approach based on our
proprietary data sources to identify current trends
and key players, and to look forward to emerging
technologies that can help address tomorrow’s
challenges and opportunities. We look at scientific
literature for early signals emerging from scientific
discovery and examine patent information to identify
those ideas which are taken up, and are in the process
of being developed and potentially commercialized to
provide tangible solutions to unmet needs.
The scientific literature data was compiled using
Web of Science Core Collection, a subset of the
entire Web of Science collection covering 33,000
worldwide source publications.The core collection
indexes the contents of more than 18,000 carefully
selected and curated scientific and scholarly journals,
along with proceedings papers, book chapters, and
other materials, arranged into approximately 250 sub-
ject fields. In cases where existing Web of Science subject
categories correspond to the given industry
– for example, Aerospace Engineering or Biotechnology
& Applied Microbiology – those defined journal
populations were used to extract pertinent papers
indexed in the Web of Science between 2006 and 2016.
For fields not precisely matching a Web of Science
category, such as research on home appliances or
cosmetics and wellbeing, a topic search was created
to identify papers. Subsequently, the Web of Science
component InCites, a performance-measurement and
benchmarking tool, was used to analyze the paper
groupings and identify top-performing institutions in
each subject field.
The patent data was compiled using Derwent World
Patents Index (DWPI), which collects information on
over 71 million patents from 50 authorities around the
world and organizes them into patent families. Since
patents are regional rights, many documents may be
published for the same invention; by gathering these
together into families, we are able to count the number
of inventions rather than individual patents, which
avoids double-counting and gives a uniform basis to
compare results.
The report looks at 12 major industries and examines
a specific subsector within each. For each sector and
subsector, search strategies using a combination of
keywords and classifications, both public (IPC) and
proprietary (Derwent classes and Derwent manual
codes), were run in DWPI to derive raw counts of the
number of inventions within each category. The data
was then analyzed to produce listings of the key players
by volume of inventions globally and within the three
major geographic regions of Asia, EMEA and North
America. Additional insight was provided by further
bespoke searching and analysis of scientific data on
Web of Science and patent data on Derwent Innovation
by our expert analysts to identify key developments
and possible directions for ongoing innovation.
For the pharmaceutical industry, additional research
was conducted using the Cortellis platform. Additional
commentary on the dark web was based on information
from MarkMonitor.
Further information on the sources used is provided at
the end of the report and is available at Clarivate.
