The global gambling market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.91% in the forecast period.

Micro-insurance products are coverage policies targeted at households with low income levels. Micro-insurance plans provide tailored insurance coverage policies for individuals with little or low saving plans. Such policies provide lower value assets and compensation for injury, illness, or death to an individual than in other insurance policies.

The value of the coverage policy is lower compared to other insurance plans because of which the policyholder pays smaller premiums to the insurance company than in the case of a usual plan. The micro-insurance market is stronger in developing countries which offer high growth opportunities for the insurance industry
