That last comment is also highly reliant on what the definition of innovation is. This is grossly oversimplified:
If it's creating new value in the form of serving a particular need (such that a new product is created, for example), I think it's safe to assume most of those folks _won't_ hold PhDs.
If innovation is discovering some new fundamental truth about the way the universe works, there _may_ be folks without PhDs doing that work, but most of it _will_ come from PhDs.
