The global healthcare insurance market is witnessing a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period by Prescient & Strategic Intelligence.
Based on coverage type, the healthcare insurance market is categorized into lifetime and term coverages. Out of these, in 2018, the term coverage category contributed a revenue of $1.3 trillion and is expected to be the faster-growing category, advancing at a CAGR of 4.7% in the analysis period. Term coverage is a fixed-term policy, which provides benefit upon the death of an insured individual. Due to the benefits associated with term coverage, such as low-cost premium and receipt of a lump sum amount when the term ends, the category is predicted to progress.
Now, when segmented by insurer type, minors, adults, and senior citizens are the divisions of the healthcare insurance market. Out of these, insurance plans for adults are anticipated to dominate the market across the globe. In 2018, adults generated a revenue of nearly $0.9 trillion for the market, which is projected to reach $1.2 trillion by 2024. On the other side, the minors category is expected to witness slower growth, advancing at a CAGR of 2.9% in coming years, owing to the fact that minors are dependent on adults and mostly covered in the insurance plans for grown-ups.
The APAC market is projected to generate approximately $0.5 trillion revenue by 2024. This growth is mainly led by expanding healthcare industry, increasing healthcare awareness, and surging prevalence of chronic ailments in the region. Increasing medical tourism industry is also supporting the growth of the market in APAC.
Currently, the world is experiencing a significant rise in the geriatric population. In 2017, according to the World Population Prospects report published by the United Nations, geriatric population is predicted to grow faster as compared to the that of other age groups. The report states that there were 962 million people aged 60 years and above in 2017, globally, and this number is estimated to reach 1.4 billion by 2030, 2.1 billion by 2050, and 3.1 billion by 2100.
