New Delhi, NFPost: According to a report by homegrown consultancy firm Redseer, insurance penetration in India is likely to climb significantly, with the market expected to reach a value of close to US$ 222 billion by FY26, driven by the growing middle class and increasing internet connectivity.

New online distribution models such as business-to-consumer (B2C), business-to-business (B2B), and business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) are key growth drivers, with B2C, in particular, garnering significant prospects.
