In 2024, anemia prevalence among pregnant women in India is forecasted at 49.4%, slightly lower than the estimated 2023 prevalence. From 2024 to 2028, a gradual decrease is projected, with anemia rates predicted to decline to 48.8%, realizing a negligible decline trend. The year-on-year decrease is modest, justifying a close observation of the systemic interventions being implemented.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impact of government nutrition programs on reducing anemia rates.
- The role of healthcare accessibility in rural versus urban areas.
- Influence of dietary habits and education initiatives targeting maternal health.
