Abstract

Large French corporates’ international trade balance in research and development (R&D) services was negative in 2017, amounting to EUR –2.6 billion. In contrast, charges for the use of intellectual property showed a net surplus of EUR 2.7 billion. Both balances improved in 2016 and 2017, but nonetheless remain below figures for Germany. The United States is France’s main trading partner for R&D services and charges for the use of intellectual property, accounting for the largest share of its exports in these items and the second-largest share of its imports. The majority of these trade flows relates to the “Pharmaceuticals and health care” sector. In the case of charges for the use of intellectual property in particular, the sector ranks first for both receipts and payments. Le solde des flux internationaux des services de recherche et développement (R&D) des grandes entreprises françaises est négatif, à – 2,6 milliards d’euros en 2017. A contrario, celui de la rémunération de la propriété intellectuelle est excédentaire à 2,7 milliards d’euros. Ces deux soldes s’améliorent en 2016 et 2017, mais restent inférieurs à ceux de l’Allemagne. Les flux des services de R&D de la France, de même que ceux en rémunération de la propriété intellectuelle, sont largement orientés vers les États-Unis, premier client et deuxième fournisseur. La filière « Pharmacie et santé » concentre une part majeure des flux échangés. En particulier pour la rémunération de la propriété intellectuelle, cette filière se classe en premier aussi bien pour les recettes que pour les dépenses.
