The wholesale sector in Switzerland, excluding motor vehicles and motorcycles, saw its output standing at 193 billion Swiss Francs in 2023. Forecasts for 2024 reveal an expected output of 195.44 billion Swiss Francs, reflecting a moderate increase. From 2024 to 2028, the sector is projected to show steady growth with outputs at 198.11, 200.76, 203.38, and 205.97 billion Swiss Francs, respectively. The year-on-year percentage variations from 2024 to 2028 average around 1.4% to 1.6%, indicating a stable growth environment. Over the last two years, the growth trend has been consistent, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the next five years is expected to maintain this steady pace.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of digitalization on traditional wholesale operations, evolving consumer preferences, and potential regulatory changes. Observing the implications of international trade relations and economic policies on Switzerland's export-driven economy will also be crucial.
