Actual and Projected Wealth in Insurance in FY24


Total individual wealth in insurance may almost double in next 5 years


Increased awareness, ease to avail insurance through improved technology, regulatory changes, and rising underinsured young population to catalyse the process.
 Insurance forms the third largest asset class with a 14.08% share in total individual financial assets after direct equity and FD said india Wealth Report 2019 by Karvy Private Wealth. Indivisual wealth in insurance may grow at a CAGR of 14.46% in the next 5 years from INR 36.9 trillion in FY2019 to  INR 72.4 trillion in FY2024, the report predicted.

The report said that there is still a huge market for advisors and agents to explore in the insurance sector. In a nation of 1.3 billion people, it is quite suprising that our insurace coverage  is as low as 20%, the report said. Adding to it, the majority of indians are not adequately insured. This means more than 80% of indians are yet to buy sufficient life insurance cover under any life insuance scheme.

Going ahead, multiple growth drivers will be:

  • Increased awareness about the importance of buying an adequate insurance cover with efforts by life insurace companies for educating indians across length and breadth of India.
  • Increase availability & ease for purchase with the use of technology for online purchase, including from mobile applications on smartphones.
  • Regulatory changes and continuition of income tax benefits.
  • Changes in demographic factors such as growing underinsured younger population with need of child plans and older population with need of retirement plans.
