The export volume of cocoa beans from Switzerland has shown a steady increase. In 2023, the export volume stood at 21.0 thousand metric tons. Moving forward, forecasts indicate a gradual growth: 22.0 thousand metric tons in 2024, 23.0 thousand metric tons in 2025, 2026, and 2027, reaching 24.0 thousand metric tons in 2028. This represents a year-on-year increase of 4.8% from 2023 to 2024 and 4.3% from 2024 to 2025, stabilizing until it increases by 4.3% again from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years is approximately 2.76%.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from global trade policies, fluctuations in cocoa bean prices, and the influence of climate change on cocoa production. Additionally, demand from emerging markets and shifts toward sustainable and fair-trade cocoa could influence export volumes.
