2012-10-06 19:56:55 - New Financial Services research report from Timetric is now available from Fast Market Research

Dominated by Dong Bao Viet with a market share of 43.3% in 2010, and backed by rising medical expenditure and levels of disposable income, the segment's growth is expected to be sustained by the poor state of Vietnam's healthcare system, which is leading people to opt for private facilities and invest in insurance products. In 2011, 55.7% of the overall personal accident and health insurance written premium was generated by the agencies channel. This channel benefits insurance companies as it allows geographical expansion without the associated costs of opening branches in new locations. Mandatory health insurance was the key growth driver for the segment during the review period and the government is working on a universal healthcare system which will

cover all Vietnamese people. This new system will ensure that even citizens with private healthcare plans will be covered and will drive the segment over the forecast period.
