In 2023, Switzerland's import of shelled walnuts stood at 8.96 thousand metric tons. Based on the forecast data, we can observe consistent growth over the next five years. In 2024, imports are projected to be 9.15 thousand metric tons, increasing to 9.91 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 2.2% to 2.1% over the last two years. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is roughly 2.03%.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards healthy snacking, fluctuations in global walnut production affecting supply, and possible impacts of trade policies that could influence import volumes.
