Lack of awareness about critical illness insurance is hindering the growth of the global critical insurance market. Most of the critical illness insurances are included with term plans. Most people are aware of the life insurance plans but are not much aware of the term plans. A term plan is a type of life insurance plan for a fixed tenure that includes critical illness cover as an inbuilt feature in the actual base plan.
Besides being economical, benefits provided on the demise of the policyholder are more in the case of term plan when compared to the maturity benefits offered by life insurance plans. For instance, a research study published in Economic Times, in 2020 says that only 1 out of 5 insurance holders have term insurance in urban India which is 65% population of the urban India. This is mostly due to the lack of awareness in people about term plans offered by insurers that also include a critical illness cover.
The increased prevalence of critical diseases is driving the global critical illness insurance market. Treatment for critical illness such as cancer incurs huge amount and therefore having critical illness insurance can be beneficial to lower the burden of the treatment cost. The insurance service providers provide a lump-sum payment to the policyholder upon diagnosis of the critical disease. Some other types of common critical illnesses include heart attack, stroke, and coronary artery bypass.
An increase in the range of critical illnesses covered in the critical illness insurance policies is a major trend shaping the critical insurance market.
