The number of persons injured in road accidents in Germany in 2023 stood at 379.33 thousand. Over the last two years, the variation in the number of injured persons fluctuated, with 2022 experiencing an increase of 14.81% over 2021, and 2023 showing a smaller increase of 2.25% over 2022. When examining trends over a longer period, one can observe that the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2018 to 2023 was approximately -0.86%, indicating a general, albeit minor, decline.
Looking forward, the forecasted data suggest a continual decrease in the number of injured persons, with the five-year CAGR from 2023 to 2028 projected at -0.61%. By 2028, the number is expected to decline by approximately 3.02% from 2023's figure.
Future trends to watch for include changes in road safety measures, the impact of increased adoption of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and the influence of emerging technologies such as autonomous vehicles on reducing the number of road accidents and subsequent injuries. Additionally, any major policy changes or societal shifts in transport behavior could further influence these forecasts.
