APRA's latest general insurance institutional-level statistics reflect the recent growth of the industry.
A report recently published by data and analytics company GlobalData predicted the Australian general insurance industry to jump from$86.8 billion in 2023 to a whopping $123.1 billion by 2027.
Specifically, the report expects the Australian general insurance industry to see an annual growth of 9.5% in 2023 and 9.8% in 2024 due to increased healthcare awareness post-COVID-19 pandemic, high demand for natural catastrophe insurance due to the impacts of climate change, and skyrocketing property and motor insurance premiums.
