The global premium finance market, valued at $52.2 billion in 2023, is forecast to experience robust growth, with an annual increase of over 10% through 2032, according to a report from Global Market Insights.
A key factor driving this surge is the rising cost of insurance across various sectors, including automotive, property, and health insurance. As policyholders face mounting premiums, the demand for flexible payment options is expected to intensify.
The life insurance segment alone is anticipated to exceed $75 billion by 2032, with non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) emerging as the fastest-growing service providers. These entities are expected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 12% during this period.
China’s premium finance market is rapidly expanding, fueled by a growing middle class and an increasing demand for high-value insurance policies. Rising disposable incomes are driving greater demand for life and health insurance, which, in turn, is boosting the need for premium financing solutions.
In South Korea, the market is experiencing steady growth, supported by high insurance penetration and a well-established financial infrastructure. Policyholders in the region are increasingly relying on premium financing to cope with the escalating costs of life, health, and property insurance.
Meanwhile, Japan’s premium finance industry is also on the rise. The aging population is contributing to a growing need for comprehensive insurance coverage, particularly in the realms of elderly care and long-term policies. This trend is prompting more individuals to turn to premium financing. The integration of digital financial solutions is further facilitating access to these services, making premium financing more efficient and accessible.
As the premium finance market continues to expand globally, these trends highlight the increasing reliance on flexible financing solutions to manage the rising costs of insurance across various sectors.
