Summary

The global microinsurance market size was valued at $6,704.7 million in 2024, and is projected to reach $11.570.5 million by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2025 to 2034.
A type of insurance designed for low-income individuals and families to offer affordable products and tailored coverage, which can help them manage financial risks is referred to microinsurance. It is intended to provide affordable insurance products, with an intent to help them recover from financial loss. Another type of insurance that helps provide coverage and ensures that beneficiaries receive financial support in the event of the policyholder's death is called life microinsurance.
Rise in awareness of insurance benefits and surge in demand for financial inclusion leads to increase in demand for affordable insurance products. Microinsurance intents to help low-income group by offering affordable coverage, reducing their financial risks from events like health emergencies or natural disasters. It also helps boost economic stability and encourage savings and investment for emergencies. This has increased the awareness of financial inclusion, which fosters the growth of the microinsurance market.
However, long-term commitment toward any insurance premium is difficult for a person with low disposable income due to financial instability. In addition, microinsurance products are perceived as products that offer less coverage or fewer benefits as compared with traditional insurance. This makes customers doubt the value of microinsurance. These factors limit the growth of the microinsurance market.
Nevertheless, increase in digitalization which offers features like online registration, easy payment methods, and more allow customers to access microinsurance products easily without wait times. Insurers can also offer tailored products like crop insurance for farmers, micro-health insurance and more, which is expected to foster the growth of the microinsurance market during the forecast period.
