Market Overview

The global term insurance market size was valued at USD 854.20 billion in 2021. It is projected to reach USD 1,544.19 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period (2022–2030).

Term life insurance or term assurance is the insurance that provides coverage at a fixed rate of premium payments for a specific term. After the period expires, coverage at the previous premium rate is no longer guaranteed, and the customer must either forego coverage or potentially seek coverage at a higher premium rate or under different terms. Term insurance is often the most cost-effective approach to obtaining a substantial death benefit based on a coverage amount per premium dollar. The sale of life insurance policies constitutes the market for life insurance providers. The insurer offers to pay a selected beneficiary a sum of money in exchange for a premium following the death of an insured individual.

Market Dynamics

Global Term Insurance Market Drivers

Growing Government Initiatives

Government initiatives and reform attempts in the insurance industry have substantially impacted the market in developed and developing nations. For example, the Australian government announced a series of improvements to the country's private health insurance. It was an effort to decrease prices, provide access to mental health care, and encourage younger individuals to purchase insurance. A premium discount of 2 to 10% per year has been implemented for those joining a health fund before 30. Similarly, the Indian government introduced Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, a term life insurance scheme, which increased insurance awareness.

Growth of Discretionary Income in Emerging Economies

The rise in discretionary spending in developing nations such as India and China is anticipated to fuel the global term life insurance market. According to a study by the Swiss Re Institute, the seven most important emerging markets in the world will account for 42% of global growth, with China accounting for 27% of that growth. This rise in disposable income, particularly in developing nations, is anticipated to increase the demand for term insurance policies.

Global Term Insurance Market Restraints

Lack of Knowledge of Life Insurance and Complicated Insurance Products

The market for life insurance providers is being held back by a lack of consumer understanding of life insurance and the complexities of various insurance packages. Many individuals have a propensity to invest their money in traditional investment vehicles because they are unaware of life insurance's benefits. According to the findings of a survey conducted by the Ph.D. Research Bureau, roughly 49% of Indians do not know insurance products, and roughly 57% are confused regarding term insurance. The global term insurance market is held due to a widespread lack of awareness and information.
