Crop insurance is a yield-based policy, which provides protection against loss of crops due to natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, hail, drought, fires, and earthquakes. In addition, it provides coverage for loss of revenue due to decline in prices of agricultural commodities. Primarily, crop insurance involves two general categories, crop-revenue insurance & crop-yield insurance, which are purchased by farmers, ranchers, beekeeper, and other agricultural producers. Moreover, to avail crop insurance coverage, policyholders formulate a contract with several crop insurance providers in the market.
Rise in support from several governments for protecting farmers against fluctuations in revenues, prices, and yields helps in availing crop insurance coverage with more alternatives & customized options. In addition, introduction of technologies such as artificial intelligence, mobile applications, satellite, drones, and Internet of Things (IoT) drives the market growth. This is attributed to the fact that these technologies provide several digitalized features such as storage of data related to crops & micro-level information, detection of diseased crops, and predictive analysis for historical weather data. However, low awareness regarding crop insurance, high cost of premiums, and long claim settlement processes are some of the factors limiting the market growth.
On the contrary, value-added offered by crop insurance providers to their customers and expansion of product & service offerings by entering into partnerships significantly contribute toward the growth of the market. In addition, developing economies offer significant opportunities for insurers to expand their business by strengthening policies and to support the development of crop insurance market in Asia-Pacific. Furthermore, implementation of technologies can help insurers to collect premiums & pay out claims and to register information & location of farmers. Therefore, these factors are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the crop insurance providers during the forecast period.
