Segmentation Analysis

Based on Type: The market is segmented by life, non-life and health insurance. Japan has about 6% of its economic value held in life insurance — the global average is 4.2% — so although it is a mature market there is scope to diversify into specific health products.

According to Types of Service Providers: The market segmentation consists of public health insurance providers, namely, National Health Insurance (NHI) and Employees' Health Insurance (EHI), in addition to supplementary private insurers. Public system (that covers a big range of the population) + private insurers (to attend other needs and a more specialized public).

Country-Level Analysis: Japan

The healthcare insurance system in Japan have a well-deserved reputation for both universal coverage and high quality. There are several types of insurances for this system, such as National Health Insurance, which is for self-employed individuals and students, and Employees' Health Insurance, which is for corporate employees. Most residents are covered by public health insurance, which pays 70% or more of medical and prescription drug costs, but patients are responsible for the rest. Supplementary private health insurance is only open for co-payments or cost non-covered [19] and these are at fixed cost per day per hospital or per surgery actually performed rather than per the actual expenditure.

The result of an aging population poses both potential hurdles and opportunities for the country's healthcare insurance market. As demand for care of the elderly continues to rise, insurers are responding by creating tailored products and services. The use of health insurance covering traditional health therapies, including acupuncture and health massages, also demonstrates consumer-oriented features of health care; many consumers seek a holistic approach to health care.
