German Personal Accident & Health Insurance Sector Discussed by Timetric in In-demand Report Published at MarketPublishers.com

25 Aug 2014 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – The increasing demand for personal accident and health insurance products has been supported by healthy economic growth, the government’s cancellation of a 3-year waiting period for individuals to enroll in private health insurance plans in December 2010, as well as by the occurrence of natural calamities like cyclone Emma and hurricane Kyrill. Furthermore, during 2009–2013, the German ageing population also impacted the dynamics of the personal accident and health segment, with the trend likely to continue in the upcoming years. As of 2013, there were 17 million people aged over 65 in the country (nearly 21% of the population), and the figure is projected to grow to 17.8 million by 2017-end. This trend has resulted in the elevated demand for private health coverage in Germany, as senior citizens prefer investing in private health insurance to get quicker treatment at private hospitals, rather than waiting for a medical appointment at public hospitals.

To stay competitive, insurance carriers have to considerably reduce their customer acquisition and administrative costs. Whilst some insurers streamline their IT facilities to further enhance efficiency and boost their customers’ experience, others are outsourcing a portion of their operations to low-cost destinations.
