The rise in insurance penetration is expected to drive the growth of the life and non-life insurance market going forward. Insurance penetration refers to the extent of insurance coverage or the proportion of the population or businesses holding insurance policies relative to the total insurable market. Higher insurance penetration offers significant benefits for both life and non-life insurance, including increased financial protection, risk mitigation, and market stability, which support individuals, businesses, and the broader economy. For instance, in December 2025, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), a France-based intergovernmental organization focused on economic policy and global development, average insurance penetration among OECD countries rose to 6.2% in 2024 from 6% in 2023, while the global average across all reporting jurisdictions increased to 5.4% from 5.3% the previous year. Therefore, rising insurance penetration is expected to fuel growth in the life and non-life insurance market.
