Global Burial Insurance Market is valued approximately USD 239.66 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6.10% over the forecast period 2022-2028. Burial insurance is a sort of life insurance that is designed to cover the costs of burial services and products following a death. The coverage can be purchased online or over the phone without the need for a doctor's examination by the insurance company. Also, no medical check is required for burial insurance. Applicants are questioned about their age, smoking history, and whether they have any major medical concerns. The growing demand for funeral services and their associated costs, which is one of the most difficult challenges confronting health insurance companies and other private payers in developed countries such as Canada and the United States, has resulted in a spectacular global development of the burial insurance market. Furthermore, the expanding health insurance industry, as well as increased internet usage and digitization, are having a beneficial impact on the entire Burial Insurance Market. The global COVID-19 pandemic has strengthened the funeral insurance industry. In reaction to the COVID-19 epidemic, the insurance industry, and burial insurance, saw an increase in demand from policy applicants searching for insurance coverage options. This is due to an increase in demand among those looking to obtain insurance plans that include cover funeral expenditures as a result of the rising cost of such charges. Furthermore, the majority of the most impacted countries, including the United States, China, Spain, and Italy, lack burial sites. This has increased public awareness of the problem while also emphasising the difficulties of paying for funeral expenditures. According to SunLife Limited, a provider of financial planning, life insurance, health insurance, and other services, 17 percent of families would have substantial financial difficulties in 2021 while paying for a funeral, indicating a considerable demand for funeral insurance throughout the projected period. According to World Bank data, Italy has one of the highest percentages of elderly persons in Europe, with 22.8 percent of the population over 65. Over the foreseeable period, this older demographic might be the market-growth engine for burial insurance. Funeral expenses have been an important indicator for insurance firms such as SunLife Limited, which has also extensively highlighted it in its reports.. However, over the projection period of 2022-2028, a lack of awareness stifles market growth.
The key regions considered for the Global Burial Insurance Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America had the highest revenue share due to the presence of multiple insurance firms that provide integrated health, life, and death insurance. Furthermore, the Affordable Care Act in the United States makes comprehensive coverage mandatory, which will act as one of the primary drivers for the US industry, helping the overall North American market development throughout the projected period. Factors such as ageing populations, the prevalence of chronic diseases, the region's big population, and growing prices are all contributing to Asia's high growth throughout the projection period.
