Title Shaping the Future of Insurance in the Philippines How Sun Life Sees Strong Economy Boosting PHL Insurance Penetration Rate

Introduction

The Philippine insurance industry is poised for significant growth, driven by a strong economy and an increasingly affluent middle class. According to Benedicto C. Sison, Chief Executive Officer and Country Head of Sun Life of Canada (Philippines), Inc., the country's insurance penetration rate will continue to increase as more Filipinos seek to protect their assets and secure their financial futures.

In this blog post, we'll explore how Sun Life Philippines sees the strong economy boosting insurance penetration in the country. We'll also examine the role that innovation can play in shaping the future of event planners in 2025.

What is Insurance Penetration Rate?

Before diving into Sun Life Philippines' insights, let's first understand what insurance penetration rate means. Insurance penetration rate refers to the percentage of a country's population that has purchased some form of insurance. In other words, it measures the extent to which individuals and businesses in a given economy are covered by insurance.

In the Philippines, the insurance penetration rate has been steadily increasing over the years, driven by economic growth and an expanding middle class. According to data from the Insurance Commission of the Philippines, the country's insurance penetration rate stood at around 2.5% in 2020, up from just 1.6% in 2010.
