Market Growth Factors
Rising Outbound Travel:Â
The increase in Russians traveling abroad for tourism, business, and education is a major growth driver. In 2024, Russians undertook more than 29 million overseas trips, with 11.5 million for tourism a 25% rise over 2023. Popular international destinations often require mandatory travel insurance for visa approvals, fueling demand. The expansion of low-cost airlines and package deals further encourages outbound travel, thereby increasing the need for comprehensive travel insurance covering medical expenses, trip cancellations, and lost baggage.
Growth of Business and Education Travel:Â
International business engagements and student exchanges are significantly driving the travel insurance market. Russian professionals travel frequently for trade, conferences, and corporate meetings, increasing demand for annual multi-trip insurance policies. A growing number of Russian students study abroad in regions like Europe, China, and the U.S., requiring extensive insurance covering medical emergencies. The Russian government also aims to boost international student recruitment by over 40% in the next five years, creating sustained demand for student travel insurance.
Digitalization and Online Insurance Platforms:Â
Russia ranks among the top 20 most digitally advanced countries, with e-commerce surging by 39% in Q1 2024 year-on-year, reaching 1.9 trillion roubles. This rapid digitalization allows travelers to compare policies and buy coverage via online platforms and mobile apps conveniently. AI-driven customer support, instant claim processing, and personalized policy recommendations enhance user experience, increasing insurance adoption among younger travelers and expanding the market reach.
