In 2023, the import of rum and tafia to Switzerland stood at 14.916 million US dollars. The forecasted data for the years 2024 to 2028 show a steady upward trend in the imports of these beverages. The year-on-year growth percentages are as follows: from 2024 to 2025, an increase of 1.86%; from 2025 to 2026, an increase of 1.79%; from 2026 to 2027, an increase of 1.72%; and from 2027 to 2028, an increase of 1.65%.

Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards premium and craft rum brands, which could impact import volumes and values. Additionally, any changes in international trade policies or economic conditions in key rum-producing countries could influence Switzerland’s import dynamics. Finally, sustainability and environmental concerns might lead to an increased focus on sourcing and supply chain transparency, affecting supplier choices and import patterns.
