India's Medical Costs Projected to Rise 10.1% in 2027, Outpacing Inflation
Medical costs in India are projected to rise by 10.1% in 2027, a slower increase than the 11.5% growth expected in 2026, according to Aon's 2027 Global Medical Trend Rates Report. Despite this moderation, healthcare expenses will continue to outpace the general inflation rate of 4%, maintaining pressure on households and employers. Cardiovascular diseases lead medical claims, followed by respiratory and cancer-related conditions. India's medical cost growth remains higher than the Asia-Pacific average but lower than some regional peers like Singapore and Indonesia.
