Market Growth Factors
The Turkish bancassurance market relies on the key strength of banks: to sell insurance coverage through their networks and offer it as a complement to existing products. This ensures that insurance is available to the diverse population, both urban and rural, of Turkey through a trusted and convenient insurance service. Insurance paired with loans, mortgages and savings products has arisen from banks capitalizing on their large customer base to cross-sell insurance products with a large level of penetration.
Digital transformation initiatives such as working with fintech companies and the rise of mobile banking have helped make insurance more affordable, personalized, and efficient. These initiatives have perhaps been most effective in engaging the youth demographic. Digital purchasing of insurance on mobile and online channels also helps improve financial inclusion. Insurers benefit from lower distribution costs, and may scale without maintaining independent distribution channels.
Regulatory support has further strengthened the sustainable growth of bancassurance, with frameworks being established to promote transparency, consumer protection, and product innovation in the sector. By 2024, the net profits of the Turkish banking sector totaled USD 18.8 Billion, benefiting from positive loan and deposit growth within the lending sector. Government initiatives to increase the insurance penetration rate, as well as an expected stronger focus on multi-line insurance products such as life insurance, credit-linked insurance, health insurance, property insurance and investment-linked insurance support bancassurance growth.
