It examines how term assurance products are distributed and highlights key changes in the competitive landscape, as well as the propositions of the key market players. It provides five-year forecasts of market size in contracts and premiums to 2028. In addition, the report discusses how the market, distribution, and products offered are likely to change in the future, as well as the reasons for these changes.

The term assurance market declined in 2023, with both premiums and contracts falling. This was driven by mortgage-related term assurance contracts and premiums, caused by a weak mortgage lending market due to the high mortgage rates present throughout the year. This made house purchases unaffordable for many individuals, especially with the cost-of-living crisis and inflation putting pressure on budgets.
