Standalone Health Insurers Gain Market Share Amid Healthcare Financial Shifts in India
India's standalone health insurers are gaining market share in the non-life insurance sector, with premiums rising 31.7% in the first four months of FY27, while general insurers' share declined slightly. The General Insurance Council is fostering collaboration between insurers and hospitals to address claim disputes and standardize treatment protocols. Meanwhile, rising medical inflation is shifting healthcare from an out-of-pocket expense to a planned financial priority, with more households seeking health insurance for financial security against medical costs.
