India Home Insurance Market to Grow with a CAGR of 9.22% through 2031F

The India Home Insurance Market is growing due to rising property values, increased awareness of risks, government support, and easier access through digital platforms, encouraging more homeowners to protect their assets with insurance.

According to TechSci Research report, “India Home Insurance Market – By Region, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2021-2031F”, the India Home Insurance Market was valued at USD 9.57 Billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 16.18 Billion by 2031 with a CAGR of 9.22% during the forecast period. The India Home Insurance Market is witnessing significant growth driven by increasing awareness among homeowners, rising property values, and supportive government initiatives. Traditionally, home insurance penetration in India has been relatively low compared to global standards, owing primarily to limited consumer awareness and misconceptions about insurance benefits and affordability. However, the scenario is rapidly changing as more individuals recognize the importance of protecting their residential properties against unforeseen risks such as natural disasters, theft, and accidental damage. This shift is largely fueled by increased educational campaigns from insurers, government bodies, and the media, which have collectively enhanced the understanding and trust of insurance products among Indian homeowners.

Economic growth and urbanization are crucial factors propelling the demand for home insurance. With India’s rapidly expanding urban population—projected to reach approximately 600 million by 2031 and 850 million by 2051—more people are investing in residential properties, both owned and rented. Rising income levels and the emergence of a growing middle class have further encouraged home ownership, boosting the need for insurance coverage to protect these valuable assets. Simultaneously, the increase in property values, especially in metropolitan and tier-1 cities, has made risk mitigation through insurance a more compelling choice for homeowners who want to safeguard their investments against fire, floods, earthquakes, and other damages.

Government support has played a pivotal role in shaping the home insurance landscape. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has introduced regulatory reforms aimed at simplifying insurance products, enhancing transparency, and improving customer protection. Digital initiatives such as the launch of Bima Sugam, a unified insurance digital platform, have made purchasing and claiming insurance more accessible and efficient for consumers. Furthermore, housing schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), which promote affordable housing for all, have indirectly boosted the insurance market by increasing home ownership among lower and middle-income groups. Additionally, lending institutions often mandate home insurance as a prerequisite for mortgage approval, further driving coverage rates across the country.

Technological advancements have greatly transformed the home insurance purchasing experience in India. The proliferation of smartphones and internet access has empowered consumers to research, compare, and buy insurance policies online with ease. Insurers are leveraging digital platforms, artificial intelligence, and data analytics to offer customized products, streamline underwriting processes, and improve claims management. This digital transformation is not only enhancing customer convenience but also enabling insurers to reach previously underserved segments, including rural populations. As a result, digital adoption has become a critical enabler of growth for the India home insurance market, driving both penetration and retention.

Natural disasters and climate change-related risks have also heightened the need for comprehensive home insurance coverage. India frequently experiences events such as floods, cyclones, earthquakes, and fires that cause extensive property damage. Increasing incidences of such calamities have raised risk awareness among homeowners, encouraging them to seek protection through insurance. The government’s focus on disaster management and mitigation, coupled with parametric insurance solutions, is fostering resilience in vulnerable regions. This growing risk consciousness, alongside stricter regulations and proactive policy designs is propelling the market toward greater maturity and robustness.
