Italy Health Insurance Market Trends & Drivers:

Italy's health insurance market is experiencing robust growth, driven by the country's rapidly aging population. With 24% of residents over age 65—the highest proportion in Europe—there's surging demand for specialized coverage addressing chronic conditions, long-term care, and preventive health services. Insurance companies are responding by developing tailored products that meet these needs. For instance, InSalute Servizi, part of Intesa Sanpaolo Insurance Division, became fully operational in March 2023 through integration with Blue Assistance, creating a network of over 5,000 healthcare facilities and 120,000 contracted doctors. This expansion is helping insurers better serve aging populations while managing over one million annual reimbursement claims. The demographic shift is also pushing insurers to innovate wellness programs and preventive care initiatives that encourage healthier lifestyles, ultimately reducing long-term healthcare costs for both providers and policyholders.

Digital transformation is reshaping how Italians access healthcare and insurance services. Italy's digital infrastructure is steadily improving, with Fiber to the Premises coverage reaching 59.6% and Fixed Very High-Capacity Networks at 64%. This foundation is enabling widespread adoption of telemedicine, electronic health records, and digital health solutions that insurers are rapidly integrating into their offerings. The Italian telehealth market is projected to reach €1.8 billion, with approximately 30% of Italians now using telehealth services. Major insurers like Generali are leveraging this trend through programs like Europ Assistance's My Clinic, which provides telemedicine, home care, and digital symptom control. Meanwhile, Italy passed Law No. 132 in September 2025 to regulate AI in healthcare, establishing a national AI platform integrated with Electronic Health Records. This regulatory framework is encouraging insurers to invest heavily in digital platforms, personalized insurance products, and usage-based models that use data from connected devices to create more accurate risk assessments and tailored coverage options.

Growing health awareness and changing consumer expectations are driving market evolution. The COVID-19 pandemic permanently shifted Italian attitudes toward health protection, with consumers now seeking more comprehensive coverage against unforeseen events. This heightened risk consciousness is particularly evident among younger generations gravitating toward wellness programs and digital-first insurance experiences. In December 2024, Intesa Sanpaolo restructured its insurance division, creating "Intesa Sanpaolo Protezione" through the merger of multiple health entities, demonstrating the industry's commitment to streamlined, comprehensive health coverage. Employers are also playing a bigger role, with corporate health policies gaining traction as companies focus on employee wellbeing and retention. These policies offer tax advantages and quicker access to private healthcare, reducing reliance on the public Servizio Sanitario Nazionale. Additionally, the mandatory national catastrophe insurance scheme introduced in Q1 2025 is encouraging insurers to develop more comprehensive products with advanced risk assessment tools, creating momentum for innovative insurance solutions across health and property segments that better protect Italian families and businesses.
