Key trends that can be expected during the forecast period involve the integration of sustainability and ESG, the expansion of parametric insurance, the application of blockchain, and the use of remote risk assessment tools.
The life and non-life insurance market is predicted to grow due to an increase in insurance penetration. In this context, insurance penetration is the measure of the proportion of people or businesses that have insurance policies, as compared to the complete insurable market or population. The benefits of increased insurance penetration include enhanced financial protection, risk reduction, and market equilibrium. These effects can help not only individuals and businesses, but also the broader economy. For example, data from the United States Census Bureau, a component of the U.S. Federal Statistical System, highlighted that in 2022, there were 304.0 million people, translating to 92.1% of the population, who held health insurance at some point during the year. This marked a growth when compared to 2021, which reported 91.7%, or 300.9 million insured individuals. Consequently, the burgeoning insurance penetration is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the life and non-life insurance market.
