In 2023, Germany's mortality rate for malignant neoplasms stood at 200 deaths per hundred thousand persons. Forecast data indicates a gradual decline in mortality rates: 197.3 in 2024, 195.1 in 2025, 192.9 in 2026, 190.7 in 2027, and 188.6 in 2028. This reflects an annual decrease, with year-on-year declines averaging around 1.0% from 2024 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the five-year span is approximately -1.45%, suggesting a consistent downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include advances in cancer treatments and early detection, which may further accelerate the decline in mortality rates. Additionally, lifestyle changes and public health interventions could play a significant role in continuing this positive trajectory in Germany.
