“…A good example is the enormous growth in chemometrics capabilities in Iran [33] over the past two decades. Their funding of universities is still quite similar to the UK mechanism of the 1970s.…”

This article traces chemometrics back to its origins in scientific computing in the 1960s. Its development is compared in other computational disciplines such as bioinformatics. The change in geographical origins of papers published in the core chemometrics literature is discussed. It is concluded that the level of core activities in this area has hardly changed over several decades, whilst there has been a significant expansion in non-expert users of packages over this period. It is estimated that around 2% of people encountering chemometrics in their research can be considered real experts. The problems of non-experts using chemometrics methods with limited knowledge of the statistical fundamentals are explored. The contrasting development of chemometrics compared with, for example, computational chemistry and bioinformatics, is interpreted in terms of the changing financial pressures on research over its key developmental phase, as illustrated by the change in academic finance in the UK over the past 50 years.

Historical reviews of chemometrics are primarily concerned with personalities. This article differs in that it focuses primarily on financial aspects, examining how chemometrics has developed since its seed in the 1960s, because of issues of funding. It tries to quantify the number of people worldwide encountering the subject through analysis of numbers of publications and conference attendance and illustrates the gap between a small core of experts that has hardly changed in number to a much larger and growing user base that often has limited statistical experience. It also identifies a growing trend for fundamental chemometrics in developing nations but a relative decline in more established countries such as North Europe and America.Richard Brereton did his undergraduate, postgraduate, and postdoctoral studies at the University of Cambridge, UK, after which, he moved to the academic staff of the University of Bristol, UK, where he is currently Emeritus Professor. He is proprietor of Brereton Consultancy, editor-in-chief of Heritage Science, columnist for J Chemometrics, section editor for Chemistry Central Journal, and a member for the EB for two other journals. He has authored around 400 publications, of which, 160 are refereed papers and seven edited/authored books, and has given over 150 invited lectures in 30 countries worldwide.
