103
104 == Insurance industry structure ==
105
106 The size of the Indian life insurance sector was Rs 5.1 trillion on a total premium basis in FY2019, making it the tenth-largest life insurance market in the world and the fifth-largest in Asia. The total premium in the Indian life insurance sector grew at a CAGR of approximately 15% between FY2002 and FY2019 outpacing the GDP CAGR of 13% during the same period. Based on retail weighted received premium (RWRP), new business premium of the industry has grown at a CAGR of 11% during FY2002 to FY2020. {{footnote}}https://www.bseindia.com/bseplus/AnnualReport/540133/5401330320.pdf{{/footnote}}
107
108 The Indian Life Insurance industry has 24 companies including Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The top 5 private sector companies contribute to 39.7%9 of the market.
109
110 Agency channel continues to be the predominant channel for the industry, mainly driven by LIC. There has been no significant change in the channel mix of the industry as well as the private sector from FY2019 to 9MFY2020. Increasingly, direct sales through
111
112
113 == life insurance industry ==
114
115 Within Indian financial services, the life insurance industry is uniquely positioned to cover a range of customer needs. The industry can offer a variety of savings products across fixed income and equity platforms. It can also offer annuity, term plans and defined benefit health plans. The life insurance industry acts as a risk manager by providing cover against mortality and morbidity risks. Life insurance products ensure that the financial goals of an individual are met, irrespective of the occurrence of mortality or morbidity events. At December 2019, the industry had covered 253 million lives through Individual policies and 428 million through group policies.
116
117 The Indian life insurance industry plays a key role in channelising household savings to the financial markets. The industry has been able to leverage its extensive distribution network throughout the country to provide long - term funds to both debt and equity markets. The life insurance industry also provides long-term capital needed for infrastructure projects.
118
119
120 **Insurance under-penetration**
121
122 India continues to be an underpenetrated insurance market with a life insurance penetration11 (premium as % of GDP) of 2.7% in FY2019 as compared to a global average of 3.3%. At USD 54 in FY2019, the insurance density11 (premium per capita) in India also remains very low as compared to other developed and emerging market economies. The macroeconomic factors such as growth in GDP and rise in per capita income, coupled with India’s young and working population, higher financial savings as a percentage of GDP, increasing urbanisation and increase in digitalisation would continue to aid the growth of the Indian life insurance sector.
123
124
125 **Favourable demographics**
126
127 According to United Nations estimates, the working population is expected to increase by 26% by the year 2030. With a median age of 28 years, India has a very young population, especially compared to countries such as Japan, USA and China. These factors are likely to increase demand for life insurance products.
128
129
130 **Increasing urbanization**
131
132 According to United Nations Population division estimates, India’s urban population is expected to increase by 42% by the year 2030. Increased urbanisation can lead to an improvement in the standard of living and better access to financial products such as life insurance.
133
134
135 **Financial savings**
136
137 India has a large pool of household savings and in FY2019, the ratio of household savings to GDP was 18.2%. The share of gross financial savings as a proportion of household savings was 57.9% n FY2019. The share of life insurance as a proportion of financial savings (excluding currency) in India reached its peak level at 29.0% in FY2010. However, with regulatory changes in the sector and a downturn in the economic environment, the share of life insurance declined sharply to the lowest share of 18.8% of financial savings in FY2014. In FY2018, the share of life insurance increased to 23.3%, aided by the improving customer value proposition of insurance products.
138
139
140 **High protection gap**
141
142 According to Swiss Re, Mortality Protection Gap for India is at USD 8.56 trillion which is high compared to the rest of the world. Protection coverage ratio which is the ratio between protection gap and protection needs is also very high for India. Sum assured to GDP is also a measure of protection coverage in a country and sum assured to GDP ratio is significantly lower in India compared to the rest of the world. This provides significant opportunities for Indian life insurance companies to expand their protection business.
143
144 Retail credit has been growing at a CAGR of 16.3% from FY2013 to FY2019. This provides an additional opportunity for the industry for the credit cover business. This product provides mortality/morbidity cover to borrowers.
145
146
147 **Industry in FY2020**
148
149 New business premium (NBP) for the industry, based on retail weighted received premium (RWRP), grew 6.2% from Rs 691.83 billion in FY2019 to Rs 734.88 billion in FY2020. The market share of private players decreased from 58.0% in FY2019 to 57.2% in FY2020.

The strong performance was driven in equal measure by over 100 valuable partnerships forged this year, as part of its strategy to deepen and widen distribution.

216 Throughout the pandemic-affected year, the company focussed on putting in place the building blocks for growth. The company's resilient Balance Sheet with zero NPAs since inception, robust risk management strategies and a strong solvency ratio of 217% provide a solid foundation for future growth. Together with its growth momentum in Q4 and its well diversified product and distribution mix, the company believe ICICI Prudential Life is well poised to achieve its stated objective to double its FY2019 VNB by FY2023, i.e. in 4 years.”
