Malaysia stands as the fourth largest economy in Southeast Asia, characterized by robust economic growth, which reached an impressive 8.7% in 2022. The nation's population is approaching 32.7 million people, and it boasts a GDP per capita of $12,400. As an upper middle-income country, Malaysia's economic landscape is heavily influenced by consumption and international trade, constituting the most crucial components of its GDP. In 2022, Malaysia's total exports and imports reached a remarkable RM2.85 trillion, equivalent to about $627 billion, marking a substantial 27.8% year-on-year increase. This achievement marked the second consecutive year in which Malaysia surpassed the 2 trillion-ringgit threshold.

During the period from 2011 to 2021, Malaysia's total and foreign currency insurance premiums exhibited steady growth, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.2%. Much of this growth can be attributed to the life and takaful segment, which achieved a robust CAGR of 4.5%, resulting in an increase in penetration from 3.1% in 2011 to 3.9% in 2021. Conversely, the general (non-life) insurance and takaful markets experienced more moderate growth, with a CAGR expansion of only 0.4% over the last decade.

The automobile insurance sector significantly dominates the insurance landscape in Malaysia, representing 46% of the general insurance market and nearly two-thirds of the general takaful market. Following closely are fire insurance and health/personal accident insurance. Meanwhile, the takaful market is primarily characterized by personal lines, with automobile and health insurance collectively accounting for about 20% of the total market. These two segments hold a substantial 75% share of the takaful market, compared to 57% in the general insurance segment.

Between 2017 and 2021, Malaysia's annual premium income exhibited a fluctuating trend, experiencing a minimal CAGR of 0.03%, according to the analyst. However, as the Malaysian economy gradually rebounds beyond 2022, the growth rate of premium income within the Malaysian insurance industry is expected to rise.

The analysis anticipates the Malaysian insurance market will experience growth in the future. This growth will likely be driven by heightened public awareness of insurance, the increase in disposable income among the population, and the influence of insurtech, which is making insurance services more tailored and accessible. The projection suggests that Malaysia's insurance premium income will reach $5.03 billion by 2032, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.6% from 2023 to 2032.
