The forecast shows a steady decline in the number of infant deaths in the US from 2024 to 2028, starting at 10.38 million deaths in 2024 and decreasing to 9.56 million by 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year decrease of approximately 2% on average. In 2023, the actual recorded number of infant deaths was higher than 10.38 million, marking a positive trend towards reduction in subsequent years.
Future trends to watch for:
- Advancements in prenatal and postnatal care, which may further reduce infant mortality rates.
- Impact of healthcare policies and access to quality health services for expectant mothers and infants.
- Socioeconomic factors and their role in infant mortality rates.
