The Swiss per-capita income may further increase up to the year 2050. In addition to this materialistic prosperity, further indicators for prosperity are expected to improve significantly, such as life expectancy and a decreasing rate of infant mortality. New products and services will come on the market at reasonable prices. Overall, there are few reasons to assume that the current trend of recorded increase in prosperity will suddenly stop; however, there will be changes in the sectoral composition of employment and value creation. The forest services will remain a niche business. The importance of the forest, however, will increase – not due to timber production but due to the increasing need for recreation.
