In 2023, Germany's infant mortality rate stood at 2.9 deaths per thousand live births. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 projects a gradual decline from 2.8 to 2.6. This represents an average annual decrease or CAGR of about 2% over the five years. The most notable decline is forecasted for 2028, aligning with ongoing trends in healthcare advancements and improved maternal care protocols.
Looking forward, Germany should continue to enhance healthcare access and innovation, focusing on prenatal and neonatal care. Monitoring these trends, alongside emerging health technologies, will be crucial in further reducing the infant mortality rate.
