The North America individual health insurance market size is anticipated to reach USD 2.56 trillion by 2030. It is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2023 to 2030. Due to their flexibility and ability to cover services that employer-based insurance cannot, individual health insurance plans are quite effective. Moreover, family floater plans or group insurance plans may not be sufficient for people with large families or those who have elderly family members. The main advantage of an individual health insurance plan is that it provides coverage that is significantly more comprehensive than other plans as each individual has their own sum insured, as compared to a family floater where the sum insured is shared by everyone who is covered under the policy.
Some of the primary reasons that drive the market are the growing prevalence of chronic disorders in the region, increased product offerings, and new insurer participation in the market. For instance, in November 2022, Cigna expanded its Medicare Advantage (MA) plan in Connecticut. This plan is beneficial for people who qualify for Medicare as they cover benefits that original Medicare does not. Furthermore, this market holds a high growth potential in the adult population due to the increasing cases of lifestyle-related disorders among adults and the growing awareness about the same. For instance, according to the International Diabetes Federation, in 2021, there were about 2.9 million diabetes cases in Canada and the number is projected to reach 3.4 million by 2045.
Key industry participants are focusing on implementing a number of strategies, including partnerships and collaborations, the launch of new products, and investments in regional insurance companies, to increase their presence and reach of their services. In March 2021, Highmark Inc. and HealthNow New York Inc. formed an agreement to affiliate, marking a significant step towards the integration of Blue Cross and Blue Shield health insurance plans to better serve the populations of the New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia regions. This also led to the emergence of the fourth-largest BCBS insurer in the country.
