The segment’s growth was supported by Argentina’s increasing healthcare expenditure, rising disposable income levels, improving employment opportunities and industrial growth. Argentina’s healthcare system incorporates three financing options: public insurance, private insurance and social security. Social security covered 51% of the total population in 2010, while 34% of the population was covered by public insurance and the remaining 15% was covered by private insurance. The high cost of private healthcare prevents the lower-income population from having access to advanced healthcare. However, Argentina’s industrial growth and rising number of employment opportunities is expected to generate larger middle- and upper-class populations in the country. The expanding middle- and upper-class population will make private health insurance affordable for a larger customer base, which will drive sales of personal accident and health insurance policies in Argentina over the forecast period.
