Indonesia: Microinsurance remains underdeveloped with availability of demand information identified as key challenge
Brought to you by:
Based on findings from the Milliman research report: Asia Microinsurance Supply-side Study 2020. For the purpose of this study, microinsurance is broadly defined as “risk pooling products that are intentionally designed, in terms of costs, coverage, distribution and marketing, for low-income individuals, families and businesses“
With growing interest in microinsurance in the region, Milliman undertook a first-of-its-kind study examining the supply side to gather the perspectives of the insurance industry regarding the importance of microinsurance, current practices and the enabling environment. Milliman carried out this study primarily through
a questionnaire survey, with responses from regulated insurers providing microinsurance in five countries- Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This article highlights some key-takeaways based on observations from Indonesia. Thirty-three insurers participated in the survey, of which 55% (eighteen insurers) currently sold microinsurance in the Indonesian insurance market. Nine of the top 10 providers by total insurance market share in Indonesia participated in the study. A more detailed report covering insights across all geographies covered by the scope of the study will be released by Milliman in a few weeks.
