In 2023, the number of road casualties in built-up areas in Germany was below the 2024 forecast of 261.63 thousand persons. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a steady annual increase in road casualties. Notable year-on-year percentage growths are observed: from 2024 to 2025, there's a 0.32% increase; from 2025 to 2026, a 0.31% rise; from 2026 to 2027, a 0.30% gain; and finally, from 2027 to 2028, an increase of 0.30%.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in reducing casualties.
Government policies and infrastructure improvements aimed at enhancing road safety.
The effect of urban mobility innovations, like micro-mobility, on casualty rates.
The influence of broader adoption of electric vehicles and how their designs might affect road safety dynamics.
