"Personal Accident and Health Insurance in India, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2018" Published

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Thu Oct 30 2014


The Indian personal accident and health insurance segment posted significant growth during the review period. The segment's gross written premium increased at a review-period (2009-2013) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.1%, despite the global financial crisis. The robust growth was driven by increasing healthcare expenditure, favorable government initiatives for large-scale health insurance programs, and the liberalization of industry regulations. Despite the increase, penetration remains low due to a lack of consumer awareness of personal accident and health insurance - especially in rural areas, a lack of cover for many diseases, and dependence on sales of products with attached tax benefits.

Report Highlights

* The personal accident and health segment accounted for 5.2% of the overall insurance industry's gross written premium in 2013
* During the review period (2009-2013) the Indian personal accident and health insurance segment recorded a CAGR of 21.1%.
* Healthcare was one of the fastest-growing categories in India with a review-period CAGR of 22.0%, but a substantial proportion of the population is still unaware of health insurance, especially in rural areas.
* In July 2013, IRDA proposed an increase in the FDI limit from 26% to 49% in order to improve, promote and develop the domestic insurance industry, which was approved by the CCEA in July 2014. The increased cap is anticipated to attract global insurers to invest in the segment, intensifying competition over the forecast period.
* Health insurers used numerous prominent platforms such as print media and television, as well as organizing free health camps, to raise awareness of health insurance during the review period.
