The life and annuity insurance market encompasses financial products that offer income and death protection. These products include life insurance, which pays beneficiaries after the policyholder's death, and annuities, which provide income to the policyholder during their lifetime. This market is primarily driven by several factors, including increased awareness of insurance products, a growing demand for retirement planning, rising disposable incomes, an aging population, a low-interest rate environment, and regulatory changes that encourage long-term savings. Together, these factors create a greater need for secure retirement income streams through annuities and life insurance policies. However, the life and annuity insurance market also faces several challenges. These include complex product structures, high initial costs, market volatility affecting returns, a lack of financial literacy among consumers, stringent regulatory environments, competition from alternative investment options, and concerns about long-term guarantees, particularly during periods of low interest rates. All of these factors can deter potential customers from purchasing life and annuity products.
