Private players’ individual WRP grows ~90% YoY (two-year CAGR of 6%) in Apr’21
LIC grew ~74% YoY (two-year CAGR of -4.7%), market share for Private Insurers stands ~60%
* Private Insurers’ Individual weighted received premium (WRP) grew 89.6% YoY in Apr’21 (two-year CAGR of 6.4%), while the industry grew 83.2% (two-year CAGR of 1.5%). This was primarily on account of a low base as Individual WRP declined ~32%/20% in Apr’20 for Private Insurers/industry due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and lockdowns. However, Insurers continue to witness a healthy pickup in Apr’21, led by a focus on Non-PAR, with ULIP showing recovery trends.
* Among listed players, SBI Life grew ~263% YoY (two-year CAGR of -1%) in Apr’21 v/s - 73% in Apr’20. HDFC Life witnessed a growth of ~96% YoY (two-year CAGR of 18%) v/s -29% in Apr’20. IPRU Life grew ~65% YoY (two-year CAGR of -14%) v/s -55% in Apr’20, while MAX Life continues to deliver a resilient performance (~121% YoY, two-year CAGR of 34%) v/s -20% in Apr’20.
* Mid-sized players reported healthy growth, with Bajaj Allianz/Kotak Life/Birla Sun Life growing 92%/53%/30% YoY (two-year CAGR of 39%/13%/-1%) v/s a decline of 16-25% for Kotak Life and Birla Sun Life, while the same for Bajaj Allianz was flat in Apr’20. Tata AIA grew ~6% (two-year CAGR of 21%) v/s a growth of 37% YoY in Apr’20.
* LIC grew ~74% YoY (two-year CAGR of -4.7%) v/s a decline of 48% in Apr’20) in Individual WRP.
* Although rising COVID-19 cases and a lockdown in key states could impact overall growth in the near term, we see strong traction in premium growth over FY22E, with a continued focus on Non-PAR/Annuity and Protection segments, while ULIP is also witnessing a gradual recovery. MAXLIFE and SBILIFE are our preferred picks.
