India Travel Insurance Market Trends:

Growing Demand for Comprehensive Coverage

The India travel insurance market outlook is witnessing a shift from basic policies to comprehensive coverage, driven by increased awareness of travel-related risks. In line with this, travelers currently look for insurance policies that extend past medical emergencies as they need coverage for trip cancellations, baggage loss, flight delays, and adventure sports. Travelers from millennial age groups along with frequent travelers also show strong interest in financial protection when they travel because they value security during their trips. Moreover, the insurance industry provides custom policy solutions that meet the requirements of different traveler groups including students and senior citizens with corporate policy options. Besides this, the increasing expense of medical treatment abroad has motivated international visitors to choose insurance with elevated medical coverage benefits. According to reports, in 2024, 62% of Indian travelers' travel insurance purchases covered Asia and the UAE, highlighting the growing demand for coverage in popular destinations like Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the UAE. Furthermore, the increase in the adoption of digital platforms enables travelers to easily search compare and buy insurance policies while making claims with ease. As a result, the ongoing evolution of the insurance sector allows providers to develop customized plans through AI and data analytics which is boosting the India travel insurance market growth.

Digitalization and Instant Policy Issuance

The rapid digital transformation is significantly boosting the India travel insurance market share and is revolutionizing the way policies are purchased and managed. In addition to this, the fintech revolution enables insurers to provide customers with fully paperless issuance of policies through mobile platforms and website portals as well as integrated booking systems. Moreover, travel insurance policy approvals now occur in real-time through AI-driven chatbots along with automated underwriting procedures thus expanding the accessibility of travel insurance to immediate travelers. For instance, in October 2024, ICICI Lombard introduced 'TripSecure+', an AI-driven travel insurance solution offering personalized coverage options, including visa fee refunds and adventure sports coverage, enhancing customer experience and policy customization. In confluence with this, instant digital policies that use the Electronic Know Your Customer (e-KYC) verification now eliminate traditional delay problems from long document submissions and approval waiting times. Furthermore, the application of blockchain technology aims to improve both transparency and prevent fraud during the process of claim settlement. Apart from this, travel insurance adoption increases because booking platforms for airlines and hotels now provide users with the option to purchase coverage during their reservation process. As a result, Indian travelers are benefiting from progressive insurance innovation which creates flexible on-demand policies as digitalization keeps advancing.
