Global Travel Insurance Market Size is Estimated to Reach USD 48665 million by 2030, Growing at a CAGR of 8.8%: Straits Research

Increased internet usage for online comparison shopping is reshaping consumer preferences in travel insurance. Online platforms like airline sites, OTAs, and company apps fuel market growth by enhancing user awareness. However, a significant constraint is the lack of understanding and awareness about travel insurance coverages. Addressing this issue is crucial to overcome consumers' concerns and boost adoption, as evidenced by a 2018 survey by TravelInsurance.com, where 47% of respondents were unaware of health insurance coverages included in policies.


New York, United States, Jan. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Travel insurance is designed to cover unanticipated expenses while traveling overseas or domestically. Typically, travel insurance provides coverage for emergency medical bills, trip cancellations, aircraft delays, lost luggage, public liability, and other costs incurred to reduce the risks associated with travel. In addition, based on coverages, travel insurance providers provide different plans for covering travel expenditures and losses. In addition, numerous intermediaries in the distribution channel, such as insurance aggregators, banks, and insurance brokers, provide consumers with various options to evaluate goods and pricing, recommend suitable plans, and so on. In addition, international travel insurance is required for visitors visiting Thailand, Cuba, Antarctica, Schengen nations, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates.

Increased smartphone and internet usage for online travel insurance purchases via direct airline websites, online travel agents (OTAs), and company websites & applications are gaining momentum and contributing to the expansion of the online travel insurance market. In addition, a surge in tourism due to a rise in disposable income, the convenience of internet travel bookings, package holidays, and extensive coverage of holidays, among other factors, contribute to the market's growth as tourism increases, numerous incidents, including travel cancellations, the loss of bags and essential papers, and medical issues. To mitigate these risks, consumers elect to purchase travel insurance, which is a significant market driver.
