The covid 19 has significantly disrupted the economic growth in many countries across the globe. Due to this many businesses have faced huge losses. However, the pandemic has pushed the Indian insurance industry forward.
Earlier, India’s health insurance market penetration was very less. Only about 4% of the population had retail health insurance. As per General Insurance Council data for the FY 2022 so far, the Indian GI industry has registered a GDPI growth of 12.3% on a year-on-year basis.
By the way, Kovid-19 was detrimental to the health insurance segment in terms of an increase in huge claims. But, this created a potential for growth for this class. For the FY 2022 so far, the Group Health segment has registered a yearly growth of 36.7 percent while that of Retail Health has grown by 17.9 percent per annum.
