Expert Market Research Explores the Top 5 Companies in the Global Microinsurance Market

The global microinsurance market size was around USD 68.6 billion in 2020. The industry is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period of 2022-2027.

Microinsurance is a kind of insurance coverage provided to low-income members of society. It is a subset of microfinance. With modest premiums and a personalised programme, it fully or largely reimburses the medical and other requirements of those who are financially disadvantaged.

Government initiatives, the expanding insurance business, and greater consumer knowledge of insurance programmes drive the global microinsurance market. The growing prevalence of busy and sedentary lifestyles lead to the growth in incidences of obesity and diabetes across the globe. This creates a need for microinsurance, which can cover the growing medical expenses. Microinsurance is increasingly preferred due to its affordability and transparent dynamics, which aids the consumers. Also, several organisations are employing multichannel platforms and virtual networks to provide incentives and build a value chain in the microinsurance business.

Further, the advent of consumer-friendly insurance models, like the peer-to-peer model, also provides a thrust to the microinsurance market growth. Several companies are increasingly adopting automated portfolio monitoring, which keeps them updated about the credit flow of their client segment and allows them to keep track and take appropriate steps with immediate effect. This helps the microinsurance companies to minimise their risks and propel better revenues and profits. Such factors are anticipated to propel the market growth in the future.
