Based on the data provided, the forecast for mortality caused by road traffic injury in the US shows a slight decrease over the next five years. The mortality rate per hundred thousand persons is expected to gradually decline from 12.5 in 2024 to 12.3 in 2028. The year-on-year variation indicates a stable decline, with a reduction of 0.8% from 2024 to 2025 and a consistent rate through 2026 and 2027 before dropping slightly by 0.8% again in 2028.
Notably, there seems to be no substantial fluctuation year-on-year between 2025 and 2027, suggesting potential stabilization in the mortality rates. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period reflects a steady and controlled decrease, pointing towards incremental improvements in road safety measures or healthcare interventions.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in vehicle safety technology, improvements in road infrastructure, increased public awareness campaigns on road safety, and potential regulatory changes. These factors may further influence the downward trend in traffic-related mortality rates.
