India's insurance penetration at 4% of GDP is significantly below the global average of 7%, presenting a massive growth opportunity. Life insurance premiums are growing at 12-15% annually, driven by increasing financial awareness and favorable demographics. Health insurance has seen explosive growth post-COVID, with standalone health insurers growing at 25-30%.
Distribution is shifting towards digital channels, reducing acquisition costs. Key metrics: Value of New Business (VNB), VNB margin, persistency ratios, combined ratio (for general insurers), and embedded value growth. The sector benefits from long-duration liabilities, float income, and relatively predictable cash flows.
Valuations are typically measured on P/EV (Price to Embedded Value) basis at 2-4x for quality names.
