The direct material input of biomass in Switzerland is projected to steadily increase from 24.7 million metric tons in 2024 to 24.89 million metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year growth rates for this period are modest: approximately 0.2% annually. This steady positive trend suggests a gradual and consistent increase in the use of biomass as a direct material input.
Year-on-year variations and trends over the last two years indicate an average increase of around 0.2% annually, characteristic of a steady but slow expansion. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the period from 2024 to 2028 stands at about 0.2%, reflecting uniform growth.
Future trends to watch for:
- Increases in policy incentives for renewable energy sources, which could accelerate the uptake of biomass.
- Technological advancements that may enhance the efficiency of biomass processing, potentially increasing its usage.
- Market dynamics such as fluctuations in the prices of other energy sources could impact the demand for biomass.
