The data on the number of persons injured in road accidents in Sweden shows that in 2023, the figure stood at 17.72 thousand individuals. The forecasts for 2024 to 2028 indicate a relatively stable trend, with minimal variation year-on-year. From 2024 to 2025, and from 2026 to 2028, the projected number of injuries remains consistent. Specifically, the value is expected to stay at 17.73 thousand in 2024 and 2025, and slightly increase to 17.74 thousand from 2026 onward.
Considering the year-on-year variation percentages, there is virtually no change from 2024 to 2025. A marginal increase of 0.05% is forecasted from 2025 to 2026, and this slight upward trend continues similarly from 2026 onward. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is expected to be almost negligible, highlighting a stable outlook in road accident injuries.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in vehicle safety technologies, stricter traffic regulations, and effective public safety campaigns, which may influence the number of road injuries positively. Monitoring the impact of these factors will be essential to understanding the trajectory of road traffic injury statistics in Sweden.
