Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/22/2015 -- India's insurance market will continue to expand at a fast pace over the forecast period as a favourable economic climate and rapidly growing middle class demographic driver sales of life insurance, health covers and other insurance products. The market will nevertheless remain very underdeveloped in terms of both density and penetration. Following the easing of regulations surrounding foreign ownership of Indian insurance companies, multinational insurers will play an increasing role in the industry's development.

We have revised our growth forecasts for Indian life insurance premiums upwards for this quarter.
