In 2023, the number of infant deaths in the US was lower than 20.08 million units, as all data from 2024 onwards are forecasts. The projected data from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline in infant deaths, decreasing from 20.08 million in 2024 to 18.78 million in 2028. The year-on-year variation indicates a continuous downward trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period suggests an average annual decline in infant death numbers.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in healthcare technology, public health initiatives focused on maternal and infant health, and potential policy changes impacting healthcare access. These factors could accelerate the downward trend in infant mortality rates.
