The crop insurance market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $40.05 billion in 2023 to $43.49 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as volatility in weather patterns, government support programs, the globalization of agriculture, market liberalization, participation of the financial sector, and the impact of natural disasters and catastrophes.

The crop insurance market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $60.66 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the adoption of climate-resilient crop varieties, the implementation of education and awareness programs, the development of market-driven insurance solutions, the utilization of data analytics and remote sensing, and the use of index-based insurance. Major trends expected in the forecast period include technological integration, the application of blockchain for transparency, integration with agricultural technology (agtech) solutions, customization and flexibility, the use of data analytics for predictive modeling, and the introduction of innovative premium payment models.

The escalating occurrence of adverse weather conditions is projected to drive the expansion of the crop insurance market in the foreseeable future. Adverse weather encompasses hazardous conditions such as hurricanes, floods, blizzards, diseases, wildfires, and extreme temperatures. Crop insurance serves as a safeguard for insured farmers, mitigating potential financial losses arising from anticipated crop damage due to unfavorable weather factors such as rainfall, temperature variations, frost, humidity, and more. For instance, in August 2021, the World Meteorological Organization reported an average of one weather, climate, or water-related disaster per day over the past 50 years. These events resulted in 115 fatalities daily and incurred losses of approximately $202 million daily. Hence, the increasing frequency of adverse weather conditions is expected to propel the crop insurance market.

The rising adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) Devices is poised to fuel the growth of the crop insurance market in the forthcoming period. IoT devices, embedded with sensors, software, and internet connectivity, play a crucial role in monitoring crop health, soil conditions, weather patterns, and environmental factors within crop insurance. These devices aid in assessing risks associated with weather anomalies or pest infestations, enabling insurers to offer more precise, farm-specific policies. For instance, projections from the CRO Forum and Exploding Topics suggest a surge in IoT devices, expected to reach 24.1 billion and 25.4 billion respectively by 2030. Therefore, the increasing adoption of IoT Devices is a driving force behind the growth of the crop insurance market.

Major players within the crop insurance market are introducing innovative technological solutions, such as a do-it-yourself (DIY) insurance platform, to maintain their competitive edge. A DIY insurance platform refers to a self-service digital tool enabling individuals to tailor, purchase, and manage their insurance policies independently. Typically, these platforms utilize online resources and user-friendly interfaces. For instance, in November 2022, Absolute, a bioscience company based in India, unveiled Digifasal.
