The International Travel Segment Transforming Industry

International travel insurance has emerged as a large segment of the travel insurance market in India due to the rise in the number of Indians traveling for business, tourism, and education purposes across the world. With the easing of the COVID-19 restrictions, there is an increased focus on travel insurance and more travelers who would like to be protected in situations like medical evacuation, and trip cancellation among others. Other related factors that have boosted this growth have been the online policy purchase channel also known as the new buying channel and the emergence of online selling platforms for insurance policies enables travelers to compare and select insurance plans relevant to their needs at their personal convenience time. Further, shifting consumer trends leading to adventurous displacements, trips, and longer stays are also putting pressure on exigent insurance solutions. Therefore, it was found that the international travel segment has high potential growth rates in the future, considering the overall development of the travel industry and the increased interest of consumers in risk management procedures.

West India is Expected to Grow with Significant CAGR During Forecast Period

The West Indian market for travel insurance is observed to have significant prevalence due to factors such as traveling propensity, tourism support framework, and escalating realization of travel risks. Large cities such as Mumbai and Pune have emerged as major centers of domestic and international connectivity because of the high number of people here who are focused on leisure or business travel. The availability of attractive travel destinations in the region and adventures such as beaches, and cultural and natural tourist attractions compel more people to take up policies against the risks of events they would wish to prevent. Also, the post COVID-19 awareness regarding travel insurance has increased significantly among travelers in West India, owing to the pandemic. Consequently, insurers are launching products that are specially designed to meet the demands of this area’s travelers, thus entrusting West India with a more powerful position as a part of the overall Indian travel insurance market. As the segment continues to return to the previous level, this segment is further believed to bolster its strength based on escalating urbanization and increasing the middle-income populace.
