Accident Insurance Market on Track to Grow at A CAGR Of 4.55%, From USD 81.48 Billion In 2024 To USD 115.86 Billion By 2032

An important component of today's global insurance industry is the Accident Insurance Market. This market is estimated to be worth USD 81.48 billion in 2024. Looking at future trends and growth projections, this market could reach USD 115.86 billion by 2032 and its growth rate (CAGR) from 2025 to 2032 will be approximately 4.55%.

There are several factors behind this growth trend. Firstly, the number of vehicle and road accidents has increased globally, and with it, the number of workplace accidents has also increased. This type of growth is creating new product opportunities for insurance companies. In addition, many governments have tightened regulations and policies, which has increased the acceptance of accident insurance.

In this context, the use of digital distribution channels and technology-based claim processing are also becoming important factors. Insurance companies are now using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data analytics to create customer-friendly insurance policies, which reduces costs and speeds up the claims process.

Market segmentation and trends

Accident Insurance Market By Type of Accident Insurance:

In 2024, the personal accident insurance sector held the majority of the market share (around 42.60%) and this is mainly due to the increasing awareness of personal safety among the people, increasing urbanization and the increasing chances of accidents in home, road as well as recreational activities. This segmentation is prevalent due to the availability of various plans, low premiums and easy availability through digital channels.

Importantly, these policies are often sold bundled with life or health insurance, which provides consumers with a comprehensive financial protection.

Similarly, travel accident insurance will be the fastest growing segment in the coming years as domestic and international travel has revived post-COVID. Business and leisure travel has increased and in many countries, insurance is becoming mandatory for travelers with permanent injuries or serious accidents for visas. The availability of packaged insurance at the time of booking through online platforms or the use of travel aggregators is contributing to the growing demand.

Accident Insurance Market By Policy Coverage:

The 'Accidental Death' coverage sector held the largest share (around 48.70%) in 2024. This is because it provides a lump sum amount to the beneficiary after the death of the policyholder, which is important to deal with sudden financial stress (e.g. unexpected loans, regular bills, children's education expenses). It has become popular among consumers due to its low premium and inclusion in many insurance policies.

Also, the sub-segment 'Non-life insurance and accident coverage' is expected to witness the highest growth in the coming years. This is because people want to have both accident and critical illness coverage in a single policy, and healthcare costs have increased. This trend is more visible in large corporates or group insurance plans.

Accident Insurance Market By Customer Type:

The individual segment accounted for about 43.25% of the market share in 2024. This is because individuals are becoming more risk-aware, their out-of-pocket health expenses are increasing, and financial literacy is also increasing. As a result, many people are taking out separate accident insurance policies for themselves and their families—which provide protection against financial hardship due to injury, disability, or death due to accidents. Ideally, these policies can be customized and can be easily purchased through digital platforms or agents.

The youth and middle-aged segment is likely to be the fastest-growing segment in the future. This is because these people are exposed to new types of risks—at work, while traveling, in the gig economy—where traditional employee benefits are not available. Insurance companies are looking to offer easy-to-use and technology-enabled policies tailored to their needs.

Accident Insurance Market By Policy Duration:

Annual Policy Renewals led the market in 2024 as both consumers and insurance providers get permanent coverage and management for a year. Annual policies provide consumers with durability, allow insurers to assess risks, and offer the opportunity to bundle with various other long-term products.

But according to Granthi, short-term accident insurance will be the fastest-growing segment in the future. This is because temporary coverage is required for travel insurance, seasonal workers, adventure sports, or events. People in the gig economy are also taking out policies that are sufficient for their average or specific work. Insurance companies are offering app-based, event-based, and easy-to-use policies to meet such needs.

Accident Insurance Market Regional Insights

Like any global market, the 'Accident Insurance Market' segmentation is also geographically significant. North America is estimated to have a market share of around 38.6%, mainly due to the well-developed insurance system, high awareness and diverse accident insurance products in that region.

Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the coming years. This is due to the rising middle class, increasing urbanization, increasing digital distribution, and governments in India, China, and Southeast Asia supporting the market through awareness campaigns and public-private partnerships.

The market in Europe is also stable but strong. Countries such as Germany, the UK, and France have seen a rise in the trend towards mandatory or optional accident coverage. Digital and telematics-based changes have also improved the customer experience.

In Latin America and the Middle East and Africa (MEA), growth is comfortable by standards. Accident cover is gaining popularity in countries such as Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina, but growth is somewhat slower due to low insurance penetration, financial constraints, and fragmented regulatory environments.
