Thailand’s life insurance sector is experiencing notable growth, with total premiums
reaching THB 633.4 billion in 2023. This surge can be attributed to the post-COVID
increase in demand for health riders and flexible coverage options. The Gross Written
Premiums (GWP) have seen a 4.3 percent increment for non-linked insurance products,
reflecting heightened consumer interest. Projections for 2024 indicate continued
growth at 3.7 percent, potentially leading to a GWP of approximately THB 660.4 billion.
The sector’s trajectory is further influenced by rising life expectancy, which is
expected to account for 60.3 percent of the GWP. By 2028, the market size could 
reach around USD 23 billion with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4 percent.
The rising middle-class population in Thailand is a critical factor driving the 
sector’s expansion.
