India coronavirus health insurance market is expected to grow at an impressive rate during the forecast period. The India coronavirus health insurance market is driven by the spread of pandemic COVID-19 across the country. As of 1st June 2020, there are around 1,91,356 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the country, out of which, the number of active cases is 93,905. On the other hand, 92,027 people have recovered and around 5,413 have lost their lives. The cases range from mild to severe and it usually takes around 2-4 weeks to recover depending upon the severity. This increases the overall healthcare expenditure, thereby driving the need to have an effective insurance plan to cover the expenses incurred. 

The India coronavirus health insurance market is segmented based on type of insurance provider, insurance type, type of claim, sum insured, mode of purchase, end users, company and region. Based on insurance type, the market can be split into regular health insurance policy and fixed benefit insurance plan. Among these, the regular health insurance policy segment is expected to dominate the market. This can be ascribed to the guidelines issued by the Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority of India (IRDAI), which has ordered all the insurance companies to extend the coverage for COVID-19 in their policies. Based on type of claim, the market can be bifurcated into cashless and reimbursement. Here, the reimbursement segment is expected to dominate the market since most of the COVID-19 treatment in India is being provided at the government hospitals which do not fall under the category of the chain of hospitals wherein cashless services can be availed.

Major players operating in the India coronavirus health insurance market include ICICI Lombard, Star Health & Allied Insurance, Future Generali, Go Digital General Insurance, Max Bupa Health Insurance, SBI General Insurance, Bajaj Allianz, Bharti AXA Heath Insurance, Reliance General Insurance, HDFC Ergo and others. The companies are developing advanced technologies and launching new plans & services to stay competitive in the market. Other competitive strategies include mergers & acquisitions and new plans & service developments.
