Term Insurance Market: Overview

  • According to Transparency Market Research’s latest report on the global term insurance market for the period 2018–2030 (wherein 2020 to 2030 is the forecast period and 2019 is the base year), growth in online aggregators is significantly driving the global term insurance market

Significant Growth in Online Aggregators: A Key Driver of Term Insurance Market

  • Term Insurance online aggregators are expected to continue to grow at a rapid pace in the coming years, both through expansion into new markets and offering new products. This growth of term insurance online aggregators is highly influenced by the shift in the use of the Internet for procurement and management of insurance policies.
  • Growth in term insurance online aggregators has enabled them to focus on strategies to extract more value from the customer relationship. Furthermore, they also make use of their distribution power to obtain better terms of trade from carriers, whether in the form of new pricing models or other concessions.
  • In addition, term insurance aggregators are using new platforms, including social media and mobile to find and attract new customers

Uncertainty and Low Cash Value Offered by Term Insurance: A Key Restraining Factor of Term Insurance Market

  • One of the major drawbacks of term insurance is that premiums increase as policy holder ages. When someone buys term insurance in their 20s or 30s, it is relatively economical compared to when someone has to renew their term insurance policy later in their 50s or 60s. This potentially hinders the adoption of term insurance policies and increases the risk of low switching cost to permanent insurance policies.
  • In addition, term insurances mostly stop providing coverage when the term ends. If the buyer wants to renew their term insurance policy after the period term ends, the age factor alone might hike the cost of term insurance, restraining its acceptance among consumers.
  • Besides, most term insurances are not designed to offer cash value, which is also a noteworthy disadvantage of term insurance compared to permanent insurance

  • Customer expectations revolve largely around digital channels and tailored experiences. This has been rising.

  • Term insurance service providers in the industry are strategizing to deeply understand how customer expectations are changing, and leveraging the relevant technologies to deliver products, services, and experiences that match those expectations
