The global home insurance market is experiencing significant growth, and is anticipated to grow considerably in the next few years.

Around 60% of the Indian subcontinent landmass is vulnerable to earthquakes and other natural catastrophes, out of which 38 Indian cities are lying in the high-risk seismic zone. Furthermore, majority of residential and commercial premises in India, do not comply with earthquake and flood resistance safety guidelines. These aspects make them highly vulnerable to natural and man-made perils. All these factors create huge potential for the growth of the home insurance market share in Asia-Pacific region. In addition, The Real Estate Regulatory Authority in India has taken initiative to create awareness of home insurance among consumers through IRDAI’s Campaigns. This resulted into 29.7% in rural and 36.6% growth in urban areas.

Growth in global number of households, increase in initiatives by government, rise in number of accidents, and surge in man-made disasters boost the adoption of home insurance in recent years. However, lack of awareness regarding home insurance policy is expected to hinder the growth of the home insurance market.

Region wise, the home insurance market was dominated by North America in 2019, and is expected to retain its position during the forecast period. The major factor that drives the growth of the home insurance market trends in this region is evolution of natural disasters and increasingly sophisticated catastrophe events. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness significant growth rate during the forecast period, owing to increase in disposable income of the middle-class population and rise in demand for insurance covering natural hazards and industrial developments.

There is an increase in the spread of the new coronavirus across the world. This is anticipated to have a moderate impact on home insurance industry.
