Research and Markets: Booming Health Insurance in India - 2011
DUBLIN - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7cd1af/booming_health_ins)
has announced the addition of the "Booming
Health Insurance in India" report to their offering.
The Indian Health Insurance industry is one of the most prolific ones in
the world, with a large untapped potential for public and private
insurers alike. Being the second largest segment in the non-life
insurance vertical of the industry, health insurance has picked up pace
in the last two fiscals and is set to reach new heights in the coming
few years. Due to rising healthcare costs and awareness in the country,
we expect the health insurance segment to grow with gross premiums
scaling up to a CAGR of around 28.5% during 2011-12 - 2013-14.
As a result of better reach and government incentives, the market is
dominated by public sector insurers. These companies also hold a major
share due to their reach in the rural population, which is about 70% of
the country's total population. Considering this factor and the rising
support from the regulatory authorities, the private health insurers are
also increasingly penetrating the rural segment with the scope of
surpassing the public sector companies in the next few years.
