Improved Government Insurance Services to Boost the Market.
The National Health Service is a government-sponsored universal healthcare system in the United Kingdom (NHS). The National Health Service was established in 1946 and is in charge of the UK's public healthcare sector. All permanent inhabitants have access to free healthcare through the National Health Services. The cost of healthcare is covered by general taxes and is free at the point of need. In 2021, government healthcare spending was expected to rise by 7.5% (in nominal terms). Approximately 11.9 percent of the UK's GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is spent on healthcare.
However, it is projected that current healthcare spending will reach USD338.90 billion in 2021, an increase in nominal terms of 7.4% compared to 2020. Similarly, non-government healthcare spending is expected to rise by 7.0% in nominal terms by 2021.
Rising Demand for Private Medical Insurance to Boost the Market Demand
The increase in NHS (National Health Services) waiting times and referrals to the private sector gradually increases the market demand for private health insurance. Nowadays, health coverage is an essential aspect among consumers. The Association of British Insurers (ABI) reported that 1.7 million persons in the United Kingdom had private health insurance (PMI). As a result, consumers generally choose private health care for specific or rare conditions not covered by the public health care program. Hence, Private medical insurance will frequently provide access to new and expensive medical treatments, particularly cancer drugs and therapies, that the NHS (National Health Services) deems too costly. As a result, the UK's private health insurance premiums are the most noticeable in the health insurance market, and their demand has risen, which will increase the market demand for the health insurance industry in the United Kingdom..
Providing Health Insurance to their Employees by Various Companies will Boost the Market Demand
As part of their benefits packages, companies provide private health insurance to their employees. When it comes to offering health benefits to their employees, employers' prioritize their employees' health and wellness. In the United Kingdom, up to 45% of employers intend to include employee health and well-being into company goals within three years of the company's formation. With rising income-producing employers and increased awareness of the extensive health coverage available, this segment is expected to boost the market demand for the health insurance sector during the forecast period.
