Health Insurance Awareness & Adoption Study
Understand how consumers evaluate coverage, compare insurers, and navigate enrolment barriers, so you can sharpen acquisition, optimise pricing, and strengthen retention through evidence-led product, segment, and channel decisions nationwide confidently.
CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most consumers don't lose health protection purely on affordability. They remain uninsured due to policy literacy, benefit confusion, trust deficits, complex enrolment, and renewal friction, none of which fully show up in sales dashboards or claims reports.
If you are...
- Health insurer growth leaders
- Product & underwriting teams
- Distribution channel heads
- Customer experience owners
- Insurance strategy consultants
You're likely facing...
- Strong brand awareness but weak policy conversion among first-time buyers
- Rising premiums create affordability concerns across middle-income households
- Inconsistent advisor explanations drive coverage misunderstanding at purchase
- Limited visibility into uninsured segment barriers weakens channel targeting
- Positive claim experiences coexist with low renewal confidence
This will help answer...
- Awareness-to-enrolment conversion levers
- Coverage comprehension gaps
- Trusted purchase channels
- Price sensitivity corridors
- Renewal confidence drivers
