In 2023, Germany's infant mortality rate was 3.0 deaths per thousand live births. Forecast data shows a modest decline over the next five years, reaching 2.7 by 2028. Between 2023 and 2024, there is a slight year-on-year decrease of approximately 3.33%. This slowing trend continues annually until 2028, where the cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average annual decline of around 2.07%.
Future trends to watch for include ongoing improvements in healthcare, particularly in prenatal and neonatal care, which may further reduce infant mortality rates. Additionally, monitoring advancements in socioeconomic factors and public health policies can also impact future trends.
