Cancer Insurance Market Overview

For a considerable portion of the worldwide population, the high cost of cancer treatment and the rising disease prevalence presents a huge commercial opportunity for cancer insurance companies. The prevalence of cancer has grown in the 21st century due to changing lifestyles, which not only puts one’s disposable money at risk but also puts the patient in danger of falling into a debt trap. In recent years, the risk of developing cancer and the expense of treatment has increased considerably. Worse still, compared to the Indian market, the cost of cancer treatment is far higher in other parts of the world. However, the poor penetration of medical insurance coverage is related to peoples’ ignorance and lack of knowledge regarding health insurance. This lack of knowledge and direction largely constrains the expansion of the cancer insurance sector.

COVID-19 Impact

Since the most recent COVID-19 pandemic began, it has spread swiftly worldwide. China, Italy, Iran, Spain, the Republic of Korea, France, Germany, and the U.S. are among the countries with the most confirmed cases and recorded deaths as of March 2020. The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the economies and industries of many different countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business closures. The worldwide food and beverage industry, which is already struggling with supply chain delays, technology event cancellations, and workplace closures, is one of the key industries affected by this epidemic. China is the hub of global industry, boasting the best suppliers of raw materials.

Market Drivers

The increasing number of cancer patients worldwide is a significant factor driving the need for cancer insurance coverage. Critical illness insurance offers the much-needed financial stability for catastrophic medical costs for the dependents of cancer patients. Global demand for such goods is rising as underinsurance is a significant issue in many developing countries. When people evaluate the benefits of cancer insurance, they are beginning to favor it more and more. Additionally, the rising senior population in emerging countries has greatly increased awareness of and demand for income protection and insurance products.

Restraints

Companies that provide cancer insurance have increased the cost of insurance premiums due to increased healthcare expenditures, including the cost of pharmaceuticals, hospital admission fees, and several additional treatments. Furthermore, the bulk of clients globally have a variety of chronic conditions. According to medical professionals, the cost of treating chronic illnesses has dramatically grown. The high cost of claim settlement, which limits market development, must thus be addressed by insurance companies.

Segmentation

The global cancer insurance market has been segmented into distribution channels and end-users.

  • The cancer insurance market is divided into brokers, bancassurance, agents, and direct sales, among other categories, according to the distribution methods used. Agents comprise the bulk of the worldwide cancer insurance industry since they act on behalf of the individual or organization. However, with the advent of technological advancement, the focus of cancer insurance policies being sold through the agents is now being shifted towards the online medium and bancassurance types of other channels, which are much better and easy from the customer’s point of view while claiming for the policy. The agents are most popular in the European and Asia Pacific regions. The projection period anticipates extremely strong development in the world’s developing countries, according to bancassurance and other channels like an internet medium.
  • The global cancer insurance market is segmented based on end-users: adults and children. The children category held the highest growth rate during the forecast period 2021. The growing senior population has increased awareness of and interest in income protection and insurance products in emerging nations.

Regional Landscape

The global cancer insurance market is divided into geographic regions: North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. In 2022, the Asia Pacific dominated the market. The rising prevalence of cancer insurance among those over 50 is mostly responsible for this region’s market growth for cancer insurance. This rise is mostly attributed to populous nations like China, Japan, and India. Additionally, healthcare expenditure is increasing in Asia-Pacific due to the region’s growing senior and elderly populations, declining birth rates, and greater critical disease survival rates. The healthcare systems in these areas are expanding their scope to protect more people from life-threatening illnesses like cancer to cover the accompanying expenditures.
