Increasing government initiatives and raising awareness of the advantages of health insurance policies are the leading factors driving the Japan health insurance market during the forecast period. According to TechSci Research report, “Health Insurance – Japan Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028F”, The Japan Health Insurance Market is expected to grow during the forecast period due to several factors such as an increase in the number of health insurance plans due to an increase in private service providers driving market demand throughout the forecast period.
The Important Factors of the Japan Health Insurance Market
Health insurance covers all kinds of surgical costs as well as medical expenses, incurred due to disease or injury. It is applicable to a broad or narrow spectrum of medical services, offering full or partial reimbursement of the price of treatments. As it pays for all medical costs incurred when the policyholder is hospitalized for treatment, it offers the policyholder financial support. Additionally, pre and post-hospitalization costs are all covered.
The health insurance policy offers several coverage options, including reimbursement claims and cashless coverage. A cashless benefit is offered, when a policyholder receives medical attention at one of the insurance company’s network hospitals. If the policyholder receives treatment from a hospital that is not a part of the list provided, the policyholder pays all medical costs and then submits all related medical bills to the insurance company, to request reimbursement.
Additionally, insurance companies offer free services to their customers. These services cover a wide range, including the ability for policyholders to seek a second opinion from a specialty doctor and use mobile AI-powered applications to manage chronic diseases on a regular basis.

The Japan health insurance market is segmented based on the type of insurance provider, type of coverage, mode of purchase, premium types, end users, region, and competitional landscape. Based on the type of insurance provider, the market is fragmented into public vs private. In the public sector, the government is the primary insurer and provider of specific healthcare services and remains heavily involved in healthcare. Furthermore, public healthcare insurance is less expensive than private healthcare insurance because it generally does not require co-pays or deductibles and has lower administrative costs.
Similarly in private health insurance, private insurers provide services for advanced medical care and are becoming more prevalent. Private health insurance primarily serves as a supplement to the public health insurance system, guaranteeing services that are not covered by public benefits, covering extra costs incurred while being unwell, and ensuring financial stability during absence duration, from the workplace.
On the basis of premium type, the Japan health insurance market is divided into regular premiums and single premiums. If a person chooses a single-premium health insurance policy, the payment must be made in full before the policy begins. In a regular premium policy, the insured person pays the insurance coverage at regular intervals over the course of the policy. The intervals can range from monthly to yearly. The majority of customers prefer regular premium policies because they can automate payments through various apps.
Based on the type of coverage, the market is divided into individual vs family. Based on the mode of purchase, the market is divided into insurance companies, insurance agents/brokers, and others (insurtech companies, third parties, etc.)). Based on end users, the market is fragmented into minors, adults, and senior citizens. Among these, the adult segment is the fastest-growing segment in the market. The adult population has a high prevalence of lifestyle diseases, which can increase future health risks.
