Industry
The size of the Indian life insurance sector (excluding Sahara Life Insurance Company Limited) was Rs 3.7 trillion on a total premium basis in fiscal 2016, making it the 10th largest life insurance market in the world and the 5th largest in Asia.
The total premium in the Indian life insurance sector grew at a CAGR of approximately 17% between fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2016. Despite this, India continues to be an underpenetrated insurance market with a life insurance penetration of 2.7% in fiscal 2015, as compared to 3.7% in Thailand, 7.3% in South Korea and a global average of 3.5% in 2015.
In 2015, Government of India increased the maximum permissible shareholding of foreign investors from 26% of paid-up equity capital to 49%. This led to an inflow in foreign investments of US$1.13 billion in fiscal 2016, an approximate increase of 170% over fiscal 2015.
The Indian life insurance sector was opened for private companies in 2000, which witnessed the commencement of operations by four private companies in the first year itself and 22 companies between 2000 and 2010 (Source: IRDAI). As of March 31, 2016, there are a total of 24 companies in the Indian life insurance sector with life Insurance Corporation (LIC) being the only public sector life insurer.

According to CRISIL Research, Life insurance industry report, July 2016, the new business premium for Indian life insurance companies is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11-13% over the next five years. Improving economic growth, low insurance penetration, increased financial savings, and a low sum assured to GDP ratio are expected be the key catalysts for this growth.
