Health insurance provides coverage for medical and surgical expenses incurred from injury or illness. It covers various treatment expenditures partly or entirely, such as hospitalization costs, medicines, doctor consultation fees, ambulance charges, and daycare. Health insurance offers a cashless medical treatment facility, tax benefits, and quicker reimbursements during emergencies. These plans are generally offered by an employer, wherein premiums are partially paid by employees and the rest is covered by the company.
Global Health Insurance Market Trends:
The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, especially amongst the geriatric population, and inflating costs of healthcare services are primarily driving the global health insurance market growth. Governments of various nations are enforcing laws to provide health insurance to tourists, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Moreover, rapid technological advancements and digitization in healthcare processes, such as the adoption of cloud-based services and high-speed internet, have enabled transparent communication between involved parties, which is further fueling the market growth. The sudden outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has led several companies to cover the expenses incurred by employees during the treatment of this disease, which, in turn, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach USD 3,458.0 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 5.9% during 2025-2033.
