An accidental death insurance policy protects you and your family in the event of serious injuries or death in an accident. The financial institutions pay a lump sum amount to the beneficiary in case of an accidental death, in addition to the standard benefit payable if the insured died of natural causes. This type of insurance is often an addition, or a clause connected to a life insurance policy.

Work accident insurance is a type of insurance that pays benefits to employees or their families who are injured or killed on the job.

The global accidental death insurance market grew from $67.34 billion in 2022 to $70.09 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%.

The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The accidental death insurance market is expected to grow from $80.11 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 3.4%. The accidental death insurance market is being driven by the rising number of accidental deaths. Due to the rising number of deaths by accidents, there is an increase in awareness in the general public about the benefits of having accidental death insurance and this is driving them to opt for accidental death insurance policies to safeguard their family's income. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), unintentional injuries or accidents were the fourth biggest cause of death in the United States in 2020, accounting for around 6% of all deaths. In 2020, a projected 200,955 people died as a result of unintentional injuries, with the elderly having the greatest death rates. This high number of fatal accidents is driving the demand for accidental death insurance. The accidental death insurance market is being restrained by a low awareness of life insurance, including accidental death insurance. This results in a lower number of people opting for accidental death insurance, especially in underdeveloped and developed countries. For instance, according to a report by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority, the life insurance penetration in India was just 3.69%. Even though awareness levels have been increasing recently, they are still very low in some regions, such as the African subcontinent and parts of Asia, thus restraining the market. The companies in the accidental death insurance market are witnessing a transformation due to the integration of blockchain technology in life insurance products and processes. Blockchain technology is a system that keeps track of transactions done via cryptocurrencies and maintains them across several computers that are linked to each other. This facilitates a transparent process for both the insurance companies and customers, thus enabling the removal of fraudulent claims and activities.

The goal of the GDPR is to protect all citizens of the EU from data breaches, and life insurance companies are fined up to 4% of their annual turnover for a data violation. In the case of a data breach, customers are required to be notified within 72 hours after the company becomes aware of the breach. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) made modifications to its commission structure to introduce more consistent commissions to be paid on life insurance products. Major players in the accidental death insurance market are Allianz, Assicurazioni Generali, China Life Insurance, MetLife, PingAn, AXA, Sumitomo Life Insurance, Aegon, Dai-ichi Mutual Life Insurance, and CPIC.

The life insurance providers market consists of the sale of life insurance policies. Life insurance providers enter into a legal contract with the insurance policyholder, where the insurer (life insurance provider) promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money in exchange for a premium, upon the death of an insured person. The life insurance providers are primarily engaged in the pooling of risk by underwriting insurance (that is, assuming the risk and assigning premiums) and annuities.

The global life insurance market is expected to grow from $2475.85 billion in 2020 to $2880.18 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3%. The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $3519.44 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 5.1%.

The rise in disposable income in emerging countries such as India and China is expected to drive the life insurance providers market. Economic growth in the middle-income group translates to higher disposable income which allows them to invest in life insurance products. According to a report by the Swiss Re Institute, the world’s seven largest emerging markets will contribute 42% of global growth with China contributing 27%. This rising disposable income, especially in emerging countries is expected to increase demand for life insurance plans thereby driving the life insurance providers market.

Lack of awareness about life insurance and complex insurance products are acting as a restraint on the life insurance providers market. A large number of people tend to invest in traditional investment instruments as they are unaware of the benefits of life insurance. According to a survey conducted by PHD Research Bureau, around 49% of the population in India is not familiar with insurance products and around 57% of the people find insurance products too complicated and difficult to understand. This lack of awareness and information proves to be a restraint on the life insurance providers market.

Robotic process automation and artificial intelligence have transformed the way in which business is done in the insurance industry. Robotic process automation and artificial intelligence are being used in the life insurance industry to accurately predict outcomes, improve customer service, guide the development of new products, detect risks, and cross-promote products. For example, Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance has launched DISHA 2.0, an Upgraded AI-Enabled ChatBot to navigate personalized solutions for life insurance choices. These technological developments will enhance the customer experience and will drive the market.

Life insurance companies are monitored by regulatory bodies such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) in the USA, the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) in the UK, and the China Insurance Regulatory Commission in China.
