The increase in health insurance coverage is expected to propel the growth of the online insurance market going forward. Health insurance coverage refers to a contract in which an insurer agrees to pay some or all of a person’s healthcare costs in exchange for a premium. The rise in health insurance coverage is due to expanded government healthcare programs, subsidies, and heightened public awareness of the importance of healthcare protection. Online insurance platforms support health insurance coverage by allowing consumers to compare policies quickly, complete applications easily, and access a broader range of healthcare products through digital channels. For instance, in September 2024, according to the US Census Bureau, a US-based government statistics agency, in 2023, 92% of the US population, or approximately 305.2 million people, had health insurance at some point during the year. Therefore, the increase in health insurance coverage is driving the growth of the online insurance market.

For instance, in May 2024, HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company, an India based private sector insurer, launched an AI enabled WhatsApp motor claim settlement feature.
