Inflationary Pressure
Global inflation rate increases yearly and premium rates follow. However, a softening of inflation has been observed in most regions except Africa.
icon
High Healthcare Utilization
Certain countries such as China, Thailand, and Dubai are grappling with over-utilization of healthcare facilities and over-prescription of expensive drugs. Consumers also claim for check-ups and other preventive treatments more frequently as they emphasize prevention over treatment.
icon
Technology Integration
Technology such as membership portals and telemedicine are integrated into insurance operation and plan design to reduce administrative costs and provide a much cheaper alternative to face-to-face consultations, respectively.
icon
Flexible Benefits
Flexible benefits have emerged as a solution to rising costs of employee benefits provision. The cost-sharing mechanism makes it attractive to companies looking for an affordable solution that satisfies the workforce’s diverse needs and requirements.
icon
Insurer Movements
Insurers choose to consolidate or exit the local markets under a high claim-loss ratio from soaring inflation and healthcare utilization. The decreased competition reduces insurance options in the market and customers are reluctant to secure expensive plans.
