Global life insurance market is expected to grow at a formidable CAGR during the forecast period. Growing awareness pertaining to the benefits offered by various insurance plans is one of the key factors due to which, the market is anticipated to rev up during the forecast years. Moreover, rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, respirator disorders, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, among others, is positively impacting the growth of market. In addition to this, encouragement from both public and private sector companies through their attractive insurance plans which provide additional benefits, is expected to bolster the growth of market over the next few years.

The global life insurance market is segmented based on type of insurance providers, premium type, plan, type of coverage, term of coverage, premium range, mode of purchase, end user, company, and region. On the basis of insurance providers, the market is segmented into public and private life insurers. Out of these, the public sector dominated the market until 2019 and is further expected to hold dominant share in the market owing to the presence of high number of public insurance providers at a global level coupled with the fact that people trust public insurance providers more than private ones. In terms of premium type, the market is fragmented into regular premium and single premium. Among them, the regular premium segment is estimated to dominate the market during the next five years, which can be attributed to ease of payment in quarterly or yearly instalments depending on the insurance plan. On the other hand, single premium is favourable, when the total payable amount is significantly less.
