The travel insurance market in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is expected to grow from $565.7 million in 2024 to $1,380.2 million by 2030. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16% from 2025 to 2030. 

The UAE travel insurance market is anticipated to be driven by an expansion of the tourist industry and increased awareness about the benefits of travel insurance is fueling the growth of the travel Insurance market during the projected period.

The travel insurance demand is mainly expected to be driven by increasing domestic and international travel throughout the forecast period. According to information from the World Tourism Organization, UAE citizens spent around USD 21.78 billion (or 80 billion dirhams) on travel and tourism in 2021. In a similar vein, the organization's data indicated that the UAE ranked first at the regional level and sixth globally in terms of spending rates on travel and tourism, as reported by the "Emirates Today" newspaper. Furthermore, the average per capita tourism and travel expenditure in the UAE was approximately USD 2,500. As a result, rising tourism spending is anticipated to provide the travel insurance industry with significant growth potential in the coming years.

Moreover, Policybazaar, a travel insurance company, reported a 150% increase in sales of travel insurance policies in the April-June quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of this year in the UAE market.

Increasing Issue of Flight Cancellations and Delays Drives the Market Growth

Despite an increase in travel, there have been a lot of flight delays and cancellations in recent months at airports all over the world. In fact, one of the most frequent problems encountered by travelers from the UAE is delayed or lost check-in baggage. According to the most recent data released by the US Department of Transportation, about 220,000 baggage were "mishandled" by US airlines in April 2022, which means they were lost, harmed, delayed, or stolen. Many bags are either left behind or go missing due to staff shortages, especially in large European airports like Amsterdam and London where many travelers use connecting flights for international travel. The airline may only offer a small reimbursement, which is surely insufficient. Fortunately, travel insurance providers offer coverage for both baggage delay and baggage loss, thus the market need for travel insurance businesses is expected to rise during the anticipated period.

Modification in Policy during the Covid-19 Pandemic Boost the Market Growth

Various Insurance companies have developed a new travel insurance product in the UAE market which covers the risks of "Covid-19," following the fact that it has become one of the main requirements required by many countries, whether they are receiving travelers or tourists. For instance, according to "Emirates Today, Dubai Islamic Insurance and Reinsurance Company, "allows customers to purchase additional coverage for (Covid-19) if they wish to do so or request it in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions." In a similar vein, "AXA Gulf Company" stated that in the event of a confirmed diagnosis of any infectious disease "epidemic" in any country other than the one from which the traveler set out on his journey, the company will cover all emergency medical costs as well as any costs associated with the quarantine's requirements for a maximum of 15 days, at a maximum rate of $100 per day. Hence, the Covid-19 pandemic will benefit the industry in the long run since it has raised awareness of the importance of travel insurance and the necessity for digitalization in this area to streamline the insurance procedure.

Benefit of Merger and Acquisition Boost the Market Demand

Market developments, such as partnership agreements, which will increase the market need for insurance, are one of the main elements that are expected to contribute to market expansion during the forecast period. For example, the Islamic Arab Insurance Company "Salama," the largest Takaful insurance company in the United Arab Emirates, merged with the "Emirates Takaful Insurance Company," Takful Al Emara. The merger is expected to expand the company's capabilities and increase the attractiveness and smoothness of the UAE insurance industry to local, regional, and even foreign investment. Companies can gain access to a larger customer base and increase their market share as a result of the union. This will increase market demand for travel insurance in the UAE market.
