Key Points:

The "UAE Health and Medical Insurance Market (2020-2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Health insurance penetration has witnessed significant growth on the back of the introduction of mandatory health insurance in Abu Dhabi, nearly a decade ago, and, more recently, in Dubai and Sharjah, with a shift toward private healthcare.
Bancassurance has, however, been a key channel for many health insurance providers to emphasize the enhancements of their B2C tie ups with the banking market.
The UAE health insurance sector is overcrowded, with too many players competing for too little market share in the overall market.
