In 2023, the number of infant deaths in the US stood at 11.30 million. The forecasted data indicates a declining trend in infant mortality over the next five years. From 2024 onwards, a consistent decrease in figures is seen, with a decrease of approximately 1.8% in 2025, 1.7% in 2026, 1.7% in 2027, and 1.7% further in 2028.
The cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 portrays an average decrease of 1.72% per year, suggesting a positive long-term trend towards lowering infant mortality.
Future trends to watch for include advances in neonatal care, public health initiatives, and socio-economic factors that could further impact these forecasts, potentially reducing infant deaths even more significantly beyond 2028.
