increasing life expectancy and concept of nuclear
family the need for life insurance will also increase.
• Research by Morgan Stanley shows that India‟s
working-age population will increase by 136 million
by 2020. (China‟s working-age population, by

2026, which is indicative of rising disposable
incomes.

India‟s economy will grow fivefold in the next 20
years.
The demand for insurance products is expected to
increase in light of the increase in purchasing
power.
19. Market Potential

about life Insurance.

years i.e the estimated premium during the year 2020-
2021 will be in the range of `15 lakh crores to ` 20
lakhs crores.
At present India is ranked 10th in global life insurance
industry with market share of 2.30%. By the year 2020
it is likely to be one of top three life insurance markets
behind China and USA, it will overtake the Japan,
British, France and Germany markets.
21. Market Potential
