South Korean Insurance Industry to See Growth: The South Korean insurance industry is projected to reach $191.2b in direct written premiums (DWP) by 2029, with a 3.4% compound annual growth rate, due to the ageing population driving demand for various insurance types, according to GlobalData.

Segment – specific Growth and Challenges: Life insurance will grow 0.5% in 2024 after a 2023 contraction.
