The Insurance Industry grew in November 2020. Let’s have a look by how much!

November 2020 was a good month for insurance companies compared to November 2019. Many life and general insurance companies saw a growth in their premium collection numbers in November 2020 as against the same month in 2019. The life insurance segment’s growth was driven due to the increasing awareness of the need of a life insurance policy. The general insurance segment, on the other hand, saw a push due to the popularity of health insurance plans given the pandemic and the necessity of motor insurance plans required by law. Many factors contributed to the positive growth in premium of life and non-life insurers thereby increasing their profitability. Let’s have a look at the insurance companies which stood at the top five positions in both life and general insurance business.
