Market Definition:

The market declined 21.7% in 2020 as compared to previous year due to the pandemic and subsequent travel restrictions. Travel insurance is a type of insurance that covers the costs and losses incurred while traveling. It provides financial security to the insured person in the event of trip cancellation, luggage loss, and medical and other expenses incurred during a trip. Travel insurance can be availed as a package with travel tickets or bought separately either online or offline. Banks and financial institutions also offer travel insurance for customers availing their credit card facility.
Market Dynamics and Trends:
Rapidly growing tourism industry across the world owing to broad media coverage of various tourist destinations, high disposable income in developed countries, and availability of paid holidays and facilities such as easy online booking of global hotels, accommodation, and flights are driving the travel insurance market growth. Also, the introduction of online marketplace for reasonable modern lodging services across the world such as Airbnb and The Plum Guide is attracting travelers globally. These platforms provide features such as complete homes with personal kitchens and flexible tenures. This, in turn, is driving the travel insurance market. Moreover, several countries such as the U.S., UAE, Russia, and Schengen countries have made travel insurance mandatory for international travelers entering these countries. This factor is further fueling the growth of the market. However, stringent government regulations related to visa policies and the global outbreak of highly infectious diseases such as monkeypox are the factors restraining the travel insurance market growth during the forecast period. On the contrary, the introduction of blockchain technology in the insurance industry is expected to create ample growth opportunities for the travel insurance market in the coming years. Blockchain technology has several advantages over traditional methods such as efficiency, transparency, rapid payouts & fraud mitigation, and ability to automate claim functions by verifying coverage between insurance providers and insurers.
