Standalone Health Insurers Gain Market Share as Industry Seeks Hospital Collaboration
Standalone health insurers in India have increased their market share in the non-life insurance sector, rising to 14.10% in the first four months of FY27 from 11.72% a year earlier, driven by strong demand and GST removal on retail health insurance. Meanwhile, general insurers' share declined slightly despite premium growth. Separately, the General Insurance Council is fostering collaboration between insurers and hospitals to address claim disputes and standardize treatment protocols, aiming to improve policyholder experiences amid ongoing challenges.
