Export of Goods Value from Switzerland (1990-2023)

Switzerland’s exports of goods grew from $63.7 billion in 1990 to $420.2 billion in 2023, driven by its pharmaceuticals, machinery, and precision instruments sectors. The 2000s marked a significant leap, with exports doubling from $104.8 billion in 2003 to $236.3 billion in 2008, despite the global financial crisis.

The period between 2012 and 2014 saw robust growth, as exports peaked at $357.8 billion in 2013, boosted by demand for Swiss pharmaceuticals and luxury goods. Post-pandemic recovery has been strong, with exports reaching $420 billion in 2023, reflecting Switzerland’s ability to adapt and thrive in high-value export markets. Its trade policies and innovation continue to play a critical role in sustaining export growth.
