Summary
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.
