Report Highlights

The market for long term care has grown substantially over the last five years. It has moved from a fairly small unknown product within the protection suite to a noticeable necessity for consumers as life expectancy increases.

The distribution of long term care is dominated by independent financial advisors (IFAs). New business premiums for financial advisors totaled GBP12m and accounted for 99% of the total market premiums. This reflects the need for professional and unbiased advice when purchasing a life policy.

The average cost of a care home is GBP36,000 a year, and those consumers with more than GBP23,250 worth of assets are not entitled to receive financial help with the cost of this care. Datamonitor predicts that as consumers recover from the financial crisis this is the type of product that many families will find invaluable.
