United Kingdom Travel Insurance Market Forecast To Cross €702 Million By 2029: Industry Analysis With Profiles Of Key Players Chubb, Allianz, Saga, Munich, Aviva & More

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Dublin, Oct. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "UK travel Insurance - market Share Analysis, industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2024-2029)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The UK Travel Insurance Market size, in terms of gross written premiums value, is expected to grow from EUR 549.34 million in 2024 to EUR 702.02 million by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.03% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The UK is a highly sought-after tourist destination, with a variety of businesses in the tourism and travel industry, including tourism services, food and beverage servicing, rental of transportation equipment, sports and leisure activities, travel accommodation, and travel agencies. The country is home to some of the world's most renowned tourist attractions, such as the Windsor Great Park in the UK, the British Museum, the Roman Baths in the UK, and Stonehenge in the UK.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a halt, with unforeseeable and unexpected implications affecting global economies, people's lives, communities, and livelihoods, too, and the risk of layoffs and global recession was at an all-time high. The travel and tourism industry has also endured severe economic slowdowns due to harsh travel restrictions and quarantine regulations worldwide. The market gained traction in 2021 after the gradual relaxation of the lockdowns imposed.
Medical expenses are likely to dominate the UK travel insurance as global travelers are often exposed to foreign bacteria, unfamiliar foods, and side effects of jet lag - all of these may lead to health concerns. Besides, exploring unfamiliar territory may cause accidents resulting in injury without warning and demands for travel insurance, which recover health conditions.
UK Travel Insurance Market Trends

Expansion of Tourism Industry
In the last decade, the global tourist industry has seen consistent development. Many countries are becoming travel hubs and gaining more popularity among millennials. Increased package holidays, disposable income, broad media coverage of various holiday types, and easy Internet travel bookings have expanded the tourism industry. In addition, many students are shifting to other countries for further studies and programs. Additionally, several universities and colleges are also offering scholarship programs, attracting students from around the world. As the tourist industry expands, more cases of crucial documents, lost luggage, natural disasters, and medical issues are reported.
The increasing middle class in the United Kingdom can now afford economic travel to other nations and might also indulge in luxury travel. Alternatively, travelers from the United States, Australia, and New Zealand travel to the United Kingdom, where their dollar goes a lot further. Increasing travel leads to increased incidences of travel disasters, causing a rise in the purchase of travel insurance. The government intends to develop measures for a full-fledged inbound recovery while boosting travel demand, depending on the situation with the coronavirus and the recovery of the travel industry.
Increasing Demand for Travel Insurance
Travel companies and industry experts always advise travelers to purchase travel insurance, but less cautious travelers historically ignore this advice. Over the last two years, the pandemic's tumultuous journey has made the travel industry unpredictable. The cancellation and abandonment of trips are now commonplace, while a need for medical assistance is now a genuine possibility. There is now a general acceptance from travelers that when they book their holiday, there is a certain probability that they could experience these issues and will need to make a claim.
Consumer sentiment also suggests that travel insurance is a 'must-have' purchase in today's marketplace. With many travelers stung by the pandemic's impact on previous holiday plans, travel insurance can alleviate the stress of such issues and ensure tourists are not left out of pocket due to unforeseen circumstances.
UK Travel Insurance Industry Overview
The travel insurance market is fragmented, with many international companies. Some tourism-based countries have made travel insurance mandatory for travelers; and this will lead to the organic and long-term growth of the travel insurance industry. Some major players are Chubb, Allianz, Saga PLC, Munich RE, and Aviva.
