Insurance Third Party Administrators - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

The Insurance Third Party Administrators Market size is estimated at USD 265.12 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 423.11 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 9.79% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Insurance underwriting companies use third-party administrators (TPAs) to handle claims administration needs. Many work with large or mid-sized businesses that have chosen to self-insure some of their risks related to workers' compensation, commercial property, and liability. In addition, they might handle claims administration for companies whose benefit plans—such as dental, health, or others are self-funded. The business scope of TPAs varies from developed markets like the United States, where they serve as an intermediary before eventually transitioning into an underwriter for health insurance, to developing economies like Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand, where TPAs/MBOs have a dominant hold on setting the price for doctors, etc.

Most TPAs need to catch up, but some have yet to develop the necessary workforce, technology, and data capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the insurance business. For the majority of TPAs in the United States, Y-o-Y revenue growth decreased. This drop can carry over into the current year due to the epidemic. The TPA sector is driven by several factors, including carrier outsourcing and service expansions, but several upcoming issues limit development prospects. Compared to insurance IT providers or business process outsourcing providers, TPAs often deploy less complex digital-led use cases.

Increasing Healthcare Insurance TPAs is Fuelling the Market

Due to several factors, the demand for health insurance TPAs has increased in recent years. One of the main reasons is the overall growth of the health insurance market. As more individuals and businesses seek health insurance coverage, there is a greater need for efficient and effective administration of these policies. The complexity of the health insurance industry has also contributed to the growth of the TPA market. The advancement of technology has also played a significant role in the growth of the TPA market. Digitalization and automation have made administrative tasks more efficient and streamlined. TPAs leverage technology to process claims faster, provide online services to policyholders, and generate real-time reports for insurance companies. This has further increased the demand for TPAs as insurance companies look to adopt these technological advancements.

Insurance Third-party Administrator Market is Growing in North America

The US insurance third-party administrators industry has high fragmentation and minimal concentration. Increased competition is the main element hurting the US business, although low revenue volatility is the main one helping it. In the United States, there were 349,400 positions as claims adjusters as of base year H1. As consumers' disposable income rises, they purchase homes, vehicles, and other assets that require insurance. Individuals and households can increase their coverage when per capita disposable income grows because higher per capita income allows them to pay better premiums for property, casualty, health, and life insurance.
