Over the last few years there has been a paradigm shift in the Indian insurance industry. During the last couple of years alone, life insurance industry has grown at approximately 46% CAGR, with some of the private insurance companies crossing 100% CAGR growth mark. Industry veterans project this growth to be around 1500% over the next couple of years. The growth is primarily attributed to,
- Swelling middle class
- Young India with around 24 years of average age
- Significant increase in the disposable incomes
- Largely under/uninsured population
- Reforms in pension and rural insurance
- Occurrences of natural calamities at regular intervals
- Exponential growth in the automobile industry
- Increasing awareness of health insurance
