In 2023, the production of non-coniferous roundwood in Switzerland was 1.564 million cubic meters. Starting from 2024, it is forecasted to grow steadily, reaching 1.5727 million cubic meters by 2028. The year-on-year variation percentages from 2023 to 2028 are incremental and minimal, averaging around 0.1%. Over the last two years, the growth was consistent but marginal. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the next five years from 2024 to 2028 is approximately 0.1%, indicating a slow but steady increase in production volume.
Future trends to watch for include:
* Potential impacts of climate change on forest health and productivity, which may affect long-term production volumes.
* Shifts in demand for non-coniferous roundwood, driven by changes in building regulations favoring sustainable materials.
* Technological advancements in forestry management and harvesting techniques that could optimize productivity.
