Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 10/24/2013 --Rising numbers of outbound travelers, sustainable economic development, and regulatory changes had a positive impact on the overall growth of the Colombian personal accident and health insurance segment during the review period. The segment grew at a CAGR of 8.9%, to reach a value of COP1.4 trillion (US$0.8 billion) in 2012. Rising medical expenses and increased numbers of fatal road traffic accidents were other contributors to the growth. In 2013, a new healthcare bill was submitted to Colombia's Senate Secretary to nationalize the country's healthcare system. If approved, it is expected to generate significant business for health insurance. This, coupled with the projected positive economic trend, will support the growth of Colombian personal accident and health insurance over the forecast period. The segment's written premium is projected to increase from COP1.4 trillion (US$0.8 billion) in 2012 to COP2.2 trillion (US$1.2 billion) in 2017, at a forecast-period CAGR of 9.3%.
