Philippines Healthcare Insurance Market Executive Summary

The Philippines healthcare insurance market is projected to grow from $4.46 Bn in 2022 to $8.31 Bn by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period of 2022-30. Health spending in the Philippines increased by 18.5% from $16.8 Bn in 2020 to $20 Bn in 2021. Its expansion grew faster than the 12.8% rise from the prior year.

The Philippines' expanding healthcare insurance market strives to give Filipinos access to healthcare services and financial security. The government provides the majority of the funding for the nation's healthcare system, although private health insurance companies also contribute significantly to increasing access to healthcare services.

In the Philippines, there are primarily two types of healthcare insurance providers: government-sponsored and private. The bulk of the populace, even those working in the unofficial sector, is covered by the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), a government-sponsored health insurance program. Nonetheless, some Filipinos might find that its coverage is insufficient, which has contributed to the growth of private health insurance companies. A greater range of advantages are available from private health insurance companies, including coverage for specialised medical procedures, operations, and hospital stays in exclusive facilities. Maxicare, Medicard, and Intellicare are a few of the top private health insurance providers in the Philippines. These businesses provide a selection of healthcare plans that are specifically designed to satisfy the requirements of various people, families, and business clients.

Philippines Healthcare Insurance Market

Market Dynamics

Market Growth Drivers

The Philippines' healthcare Insurance market is expected to be driven by factors such as:

  1. Mandatory opting for health insurance- Employees in both the public and private sectors in the Philippines are required to purchase health insurance, which is anticipated to spur market expansion
  2. The growing number of daycare procedures- The majority of health insurance providers now include daycare treatments in their insurance plans, so there is no longer a requirement that patients stay in the hospital for the required minimum of 24 hours in order to file an insurance claim for these sorts of surgeries. The fact that policyholders can also claim childcare procedures under their health insurance policy while the majority of health insurance plans only cover hospital stays and major surgery is what drives the market's demand
  3. Increasing Healthcare costs- For the past few years, the Philippines' healthcare costs have been continuously rising as a result of an ageing population, growing demand for healthcare services, and rising costs for medical equipment and drugs. As a result, more Filipinos are realising the value of having health insurance to assist in defraying these expenses
  4. Increasing awareness- Filipinos are starting to focus on their health and wellness as they become more health-conscious. Due to the rising expenses of preventative treatment and health maintenance, there is a greater need for healthcare services, including healthcare insurance

Market Restraints

The following factors are expected to limit the growth of the healthcare insurance market in the Philippines:

  1. High cost of insurance- Although the demand for healthcare insurance is increasing as a result of rising healthcare expenditures, many Filipinos continue to face major entry barriers due to the high cost of insurance premiums. There are few affordable insurance options, and many people and families cannot afford the higher premiums for more comprehensive plans
  2. Limited provider network- Limited provider networks are a common feature of the Philippines' healthcare insurance plans, which can make it challenging for insured people to locate physicians and hospitals that take their insurance. Moreover, it may lessen supplier competition, raising prices for customers
  3. Inadequate infrastructure- The Philippines continues to have issues with its healthcare system, particularly in rural regions. It may be challenging for insured people to get the care they require due to limited access to healthcare facilities and medical personnel. This may also reduce the attraction of healthcare insurance as a means of obtaining healthcare services
