The life insurance industry in Indonesia is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9% from IDR173.0trn ($11.8bn) in 2020 to IDR265.3trn ($17.4bn) in 2025, in terms of gross written premiums, according to GlobalData.
Life insurance growth was supported by a stable macroeconomic environment led by the government’s accommodating fiscal and monetary policy. These policies created a stable investment environment for insurers and allowed them to offer products with attractive returns. The trend is expected to continue in 2022, and the life insurance industry is projected to grow by 8.5% in 2022.
“Indonesia’s low life insurance penetration rate of 1.1%, compared to emerging economies’ average of 2.3%, provides ample opportunity for life insurance growth in the country,” GlobalData senior insurance analyst Deblina Mitra stated.
“Increasing awareness and conducive macroeconomic environment are expected to support its growth over the next five years.”
