Insurance Type Insights

Public insurance accounted for the largest revenue share of 70.32% in 2024. In addition, this segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the presence of statutory accident insurance institutions, requiring employers to provide coverage for their employees. This comprehensive coverage is managed by Berufsgenossenschaften (professional associations) and Unfallkassen (accident funds), which are industry-specific statutory insurance carriers. Moreover, statutory accident insurance covers many risks associated with occupational accidents, commuting accidents, and occupational diseases, leading to high premium levels to fund medical treatment, rehabilitation, and pension payments. The system operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, with premiums determined based on industry-specific risk classifications and prior claims history, ensuring sustainability and revenue adequacy. Unlike private accident insurance, which remains voluntary and complementary, public accident insurance benefits from legal enforcement and scale economics.

Policy Type Insights
