Ghana Insurance Market Trends
Parametric insurance and healthcare digitalization are some of the key trends impacting the Ghana insurance market. For instance, in June 2022, the Ghana Ministry of Finance along with the Insurance Development Forum (IDF), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the German government launched a parametric insurance program under the Tripartite project to transfer risks arising from floods in urban Ghana.
Insurers such as Allianz and Swiss Re are part of this program along with risk consultants HKV, satellite operator ICEYE, and media monitor Flood Tags. The project aims to enhance the response of Ghanaian authorities during flooding.
Ghana Insurance Market by Segments
The key segments in the Ghana insurance market are life insurance and general insurance. The general insurance segment dominated the market in 2022.
Life Insurance: The sector recorded annual growth of more than 20% in 2022 and is set to increase in 2023. Inflation has been on the rise in Ghana in the past year, driving up the prices of policy premiums. However, double-digit growth in life insurance is expected annually until 2027.
General Insurance: Motor insurance was the largest general insurance LOB in 2022. The manufacturing industry of Ghana accounted for more than 28% of the country’s GDP in 2021. This percentage is expected to grow in the coming years, with the automobile sector being at the forefront. This will lead to a higher volume of automobile sales and trickle down to a higher number of policies sold.
