FDs) over high return investments (Share market). Insurance companies offer them both
 India’s Large Population
-India is the second most populous country in the world, and has many children and people
reaching age of retirement
- This provides huge opportunities in health insurance, general insurance and retirement plans
 Huge Automobile Sector
- India is one of the largest automobile markets in the world, with over 40 million vehicles
-This provides huge opportunities in two- wheeler as well as car insurance sector

7. (iv)Threats
 Large Number of Competitors
-11 Private sector players in Life Insurance sector alone
 Increasingly Strict Rules and Supervision by IRDA
-Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority brings in stricter rules everyday, which increases
burden on insurance companies
-Recently IRDA slapped Rs 55 lakh fine on Max Life for violation of rules
(source:livemint.com 22/12/2014)
 Increased Capital Flow from Abroad
-Recently the government has cleared a higher FDI cap for insurance sector at 49%
-This might allow the competitors to get capital from abroad
 Strong Presence of Traditional Public Sector Competitor
- General public continues to hold favorable view towards public sector companies like LIC over
private sector companies

8. Conclusion
The insurance market in India presents a lot of opportunities. Bajaj Allianz, being one of the largest players
in the field has immense potential in the field. Bajaj Alliance, being a conglomerate of two proven giants
has the right mix of financial power, brand image and experience for achieving growth despite the increase
in competition.
With the gradual change in people’s perception towards private insurance companies, the threat posed by
LIC is decreasing. This will allow Bajaj Allianz to secure a more strong position in India’s insurance market.
