In 2023, the volume of crude oil transported via pipeline in Switzerland stood at 53.85 million tonne kilometers. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 indicate a continuous decline: 45.49, 37.37, 29.41, 21.61, and 13.97 million tonne kilometers respectively. This data reflects a significant year-on-year decrease of approximately 15% from 2023 to 2024, 18% from 2024 to 2025, 21% from 2025 to 2026, 26% from 2026 to 2027, and 35% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is projected at -21%, indicating a sharp decline in crude oil pipeline transport volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in energy consumption patterns, regulatory changes affecting oil transport, and the role of alternative energy sources. Economic and geopolitical factors influencing oil supply and demand will also be critical in shaping future volumes transported via pipeline in Switzerland.
