Favorable government policies promoting insurance to drive the market trends

The growth of the market is predicted to be due to the prominent role played by various governments in determining the healthcare policies along with the enforcement of acts like the Affordable Care Act by the U.S. government in 2014 covering a major chunk of the U.S. population in health insurance. Governments like the U.S. government are offering premium subsidizations to lower as well as middle-income individuals.

Furthermore, the rise in the GDP of developed nations as well as emerging economies will further steer the growth of the market over the forecast timeline. For instance, countries like Germany, Mexico, and China, as well as the U.S., have an integrated health insurance model that offers them flexibility in carrying out administrative duties pertaining to healthcare.

In fact, these countries are contributing majorly towards the overall health insurance market share. Nonetheless, lack of affordability in lower & middle-income nations including the inability to handle the healthcare quality issues & tests as well as monitor data pertaining to healthcare will inhibit the market expansion over the forecast timeline.
