Nearly half of the world's Nature Index chemistry research is now done in China
China dominates chemistry output in the Nature Index in 2025*, contributing 53% of total chemistry share. The United States ranks second with 15%. The top 10 countries are ranked by the proportion of each country’s total research output that is related to chemistry. The United States has about one-quarter of its output categorized as chemistry-related during the period. India has nearly 60% of its output categorized as chemistry-related. This indicates large differences across countries in how much of their research activity is focused on chemistry.
