Growth Drivers

Increasing Cost of Medical Services

Health insurance provides financial assistance in the event of a serious illness or accident. The rising expense of medical services such as operations and hospital stays has generated a new financial crisis around the world. The cost of medical services includes, among other things, the cost of surgery, doctor fees, hospital stay costs, emergency department costs, and diagnostic testing costs. As a result, the rise in the cost of medical services drives market expansion.

Restraints

Expensive Insurance Premium

All medical treatment expenditures are covered by health insurance. It provides financial assistance to the policyholder by covering all medical expenses incurred while the policyholder is hospitalized for treatment. Pre- and post-hospitalization expenses are also covered by health insurance. To keep the health insurance coverage current, the policyholder must pay insurance premiums on a regular basis. The cost of insurance premiums is high in the majority of cases, depending on the insurance plan, stifling market expansion.

Impact of COVID-19 on Saudi Arabia Health and Medical Insurance Market

COVID-19 had a detrimental impact on several manufacturing and service industries during 2020–2021, resulting in the closure of workplaces, interruption of supply chains, and transit limitations. However, the imbalance between demand and supply, as well as its impact on pricing, is considered short-term and is likely to rebound once the pandemic ends. Because of the global spread of COVID-19, the need for health insurance has skyrocketed. Moreover, the fear of pandemic and the rising cost of medical services aided the growth of the health insurance industry during the pandemic. Furthermore, health insurance firms launched packages and ways to pay the medical costs of treating COVID-19 infected insurers. Despite the fact that other companies suffered greatly during the COVID-19 outbreak, the health insurance market grew tremendously.
