  • Policybazaar Industry Overview

Industry Statistics

  • India is the world’s 10th largest life insurance market, worth ₹ 5.7 trillion (US$ 76 billion) in FY2020 in terms of total premium. Despite being 10th largest, India’s life insurance penetration remains lower at 24.6%, compared to 265.0% in USA & 95.4% in China when measured in terms of Sum Assured as % of GDP, as of March 2020.
  • The lack of public health infrastructure, insufficient coverage of health insurance by government and expensive private healthcare facilities has brought insurance into limelight particularly during impending COVID-19 pandemic. In the future, with rising medical inflation and ~15% of the population in the next ten years, India’s health expenditure is expected to grow manifold. As a result, health insurance segment will become one of the most significant contributors to the growth of overall non-life insurance in India.
  • Rise in affordability of motor vehicles is expected drive demand for motor insurance. Rapid rise in the urban middle-class households is expected to drive demand for housing and consequently more demand for property insurance.
  • In the last few years, technology has become a focus area for all major insurers and many fintech players have emerged in the insurance space. Technological innovations are now helping insurers and fintech companies to increase productivity, improve consumer experience and cut operational costs, thereby creating value across the chain.
  • There are many emerging and established candidates in insurance aggregator sector, key competitors of PB fintech includes coverfox, turtlemint, QuickCredit, Chqbook Etc, but PB Fintech is emerging as one of the market leader among them.

Future Prospects

  • In FY2020, India had a ₹ 7.6 trillion (US$ 102 billion) insurance industry, measured in terms of Total Premium. This industry is expected to grow at a 17.8% CAGR to reach ₹ 39.0 trillion (US$ 520 billion) by FY2030, with life, health and other non-life insurance growing at 18.8%, 15.3% and 13.5% CAGR respectively, as per Frost & Sullivan, driven by favorable macro indicators, rising awareness towards financial products and services, digitization and favorable government policies and regulatory push.
  • The non-life insurance market in India is expected to grow at 14.3% p.a. to reach ₹ 7.1 trillion size in FY30, driven by a burgeoning middle-class, rising awareness about insurance protection, innovative products, growth in associated industries, and favorable regulatory landscape.
  • With consistent growth of disposable income in recent years, Indian households tend to diversify their consumption and purchase more financial products and insurance products. Risk awareness regarding the need for protection for any contingency are improving in India due to increasing financial literacy, urbanization and advance education system.

Government Initiatives

  • In the last 5 years, the government has consistently supported the digitalization of services including insurance and loan services in India, resulting in the world’s leading public digital infrastructure based on Aadhaar and UPI.
  • Additionally, in 2021, IRDAI directed life insurers to standardize term insurance through Saral Jeevan Bima. This is expected to make it easy and convenient for the consumers to compare and buy term insurance plans.
  • Furthermore, income tax benefits under the exempt, exempt, exempt (EEE) method of taxation available in section 10(10D) and 80C of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1960 are also expected to encourage middle-class consumers to invest in life insurance policies.
