By Product Type, the Property insurance segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

In the realm of insurance, property coverage is a crucial policy that shields building owners and tenants from financial losses resulting from damage or theft of their property. This insurance encompasses protection for the building's structure as well as its contents. Three distinct types of coverage are available: replacement cost coverage, which reimburses the policyholder for the costs of repairing or replacing damaged or lost property with similar type and quality, irrespective of depreciation or appreciation. Premiums for replacement cost coverage are determined based on the replacement costs rather than the actual cash value.

By Type, Microinsurance (commercially viable)  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

Microinsurance represents a specialized segment of the insurance industry, catering to the needs of underprivileged populations with limited access to conventional insurance solutions. This market encompasses a multitude of products and services, including property, health, life, and index insurance. Microinsurance schemes offer coverage for common risks, such as illness, injury, death, and property damage, providing essential protection to economically disadvantaged individuals and families. A key distinguishing feature of microinsurance is its integration with healthcare services, which can serve as a vital lifeline for those without access to healthcare, enhancing their overall well-being and financial security.

APAC is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024

The microinsurance market in the region is experiencing significant growth due to the expanding middle-class population, the low insurance penetration rate, and the deregulation of banks and microinsurance companies. This regulatory shift has facilitated strategic partnerships between financial institutions and insurers, enabling the provision of innovative insurance solutions. Increasing disposable incomes are fueling the demand for insurance products, while advances in digital technology and the growing youth population are driving customer expectations for digitally-enabled insurance offerings. These trends are empowering the younger generation to actively engage in financial planning for themselves and their families.
