In the analysis of Switzerland's forecasted trade balance for non-metallic minerals, the trade balance is expected to remain consistently at 10.75 million metric tons from 2024 to 2028. This data reflects a stabilization, with no anticipated year-on-year variations since the values maintain a uniform figure.
For 2023, the actual trade balance value should be indicated to provide context, but it is notably omitted here. Nevertheless, the future trend suggests a steady state, showing no growth or decline over the forecasted period.
Key future trends to watch for include potential changes in non-metallic mineral import and export regulations, shifts in global demand and supply dynamics, especially from key trading partners, and advancements in technology that may either reduce or increase the demand for non-metallic minerals in Switzerland.
