Summary
The UK personal accident and health insurance segment registered as the fastest growing in the industry, with a review-period (2009-2013) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%, despite low individual investments and consumer confidence levels as a result of the financial and debt crisis. The segment accounted for 3.4% of the total gross written premiums in 2013. Growth was partly attributed to an increase in outbound travel, rising healthcare expenditure, economic improvements and perceived inadequacies in the government-funded universal healthcare scheme, and growing awareness of the benefits of personal accident and health insurance. These factors, coupled with the rise in per capita annual disposable income and the aging population, are expected to support the segment over the forecast period (2013-2018). As such, the segment's gross written premium is projected to increase at a forecast-period CAGR of 2.3%.

Key Highlights
The UK's personal accident and health insurance segment registered as the fastest growing in the industry, with a review-period (2009-2013) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%.
The country has both a public health service - the NHS - as well as private health system.
As of 2012, the NHS provided services to 85% of the population, while private health providers accounted for the remaining 15%.
The increasing trend towards private health insurance was due to long waiting times and limited availability of specialists who accept NHS patients.
In terms of gross written premium, the personal accident category accounted for the second-largest share of the personal accident and health segment in 2013, with 24.7%.
The UK travel insurance category is slowly recovering after a bad phase during the global economic slowdown.
