Top 10 Players in the Global Health Insurance Market

The global health insurance market size reached US$ 1,714.0 Billion in 2022. Health insurance refers to a service that protects an insured individual against financial losses arising due to injury or illness. It covers various treatment expenditures partly or entirely, such as medicines, hospitalization costs, doctor consultation fees, ambulance charges, and daycare. It also offers a cashless medical treatment facility, tax benefits, and quicker reimbursements during emergencies. However, the coverage included in a health insurance policy varies for numerous factors such as diseases, age group, government policies, and others. 

As per the analysis by IMARC Group, the top health insurance companies are diversifying their models and strategies to recognize and cater to the evolving consumer demand. They are offering coverage for domiciliary treatment, in which medical supervision is provided at home for specific diseases. Besides this, some leading players are offering cover for medical expenses incurred during the treatment of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). They are also integrating advanced technologies, such as big data analytics, to digitize the claim process and policy management. Moreover, various key players are opting for social media platforms to promote their health insurance policies and create awareness among the masses. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 2,599.8 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.11% during 2023-2028.
