What Fundamental Drivers Are Expected To Boost The Microinsurance Market Throughout The Forecast Period?
The rising need for micro-insurance among end-users, including micro-enterprises and small enterprises, is expected to propel the growth of the microinsurance market going forward. Small and medium enterprises have personnel and revenue numbers below certain limits. Small enterprises often face various risks, including natural disasters, accidents, and unexpected market fluctuations. Microinsurance provides a safety net by covering the costs associated with these risks, reducing financial vulnerabilities. For instance, in 2023, according to the World Bank, a US-based international financial institution, and estimates of The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, it is estimated that approximately 65 million firms and 40% of formal micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in developing countries are in financial need of $5.2 trillion every year, which is equal to 1.4 times the current level of global MSME lending. Therefore, rising demand for micro-insurance among end-users, including micro-enterprises and small enterprises, drives the microlending market.
