Colombia Life Insurance Market Trends
The key trends impacting the Colombia life insurance industry are awareness towards mental health, applying environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, and rise in usage of wearable devices.
Mental health: The Colombian government is taking measures to improve mental health awareness among individuals. Insurers in the country are also concentrating on the mental well-being of their customers. For instance, Seguros Alfa is conducting mental health improvement sessions with experts and is planning to incorporate this element into the strategic pillars of the current organization.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG): Insurance companies in Colombia are moving towards sustainable investment and the goal of being carbon neutral by 2050. For instance, Global Seguros de Vida is moving towards sustainability by signing on the Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI).
Wearable device: The Colombian wearable device market is at an early stage, and it has low penetration. However, the sale of wearable technology is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. For this purpose, insurance companies have created new products that adjust to the level of risk of the insured person, with affordable products for low-risk and expensive products for high-risk customers. For instance, United Healthcare Motion insurance company launched a wearable program in 2016. The company allowed its policyholders to save up to COP5.6 million per year, based on their physical activity goals.
Colombia Life Insurance Market Segmentation by Lines of Business
The key lines of business in the Colombia life insurance industry are general annuity, pension, life PA&H, life non-categorized, and other life insurance. Pension insurance was the largest insurance line in 2021. Life non-categorized was the largest contributor to the overall life insurance business in 2021.
General Annuity: The general annuity GWP in the country declined in 2021. The low insurance penetration and lack of private participation were the main reasons for Colombians to have an under-penetrated annuity market.
Pension Insurance: Pension insurance in Colombia grew during the review period and is expected to grow over the forecast period. The Colombian government plans to make changes in the pension system. People earning four times the minimum wage are mandated to have a public pension and propose a few improvements to the Colombian pension system. This will further support the market growth.
