The UK health and medical insurance market, valued at approximately £8.17 billion in 2025, is projected to experience robust growth, driven by several key factors. Rising healthcare costs, coupled with an aging population and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, are placing significant pressure on the National Health Service (NHS). This is leading to a surge in demand for private medical insurance (PMI) among individuals and employers seeking faster access to specialist care and shorter waiting times. The market is segmented by product type (Private Medical Insurance – individual and group policies; Healthcare Cash Plans; Dental Insurance Plans) and procurement type (self-pay and employer-sponsored). The growth of employer-sponsored health coverage reflects a trend among businesses to offer competitive benefits packages to attract and retain talent. Furthermore, technological advancements, such as telehealth and digital health platforms, are improving accessibility and efficiency within the sector, fueling further market expansion. Competitive pressures from established players like Bupa, AXA PPP, and Aviva, alongside the emergence of newer entrants, are fostering innovation and driving down costs in specific segments. However, market growth is not without its restraints. Regulatory changes, economic uncertainties, and concerns over affordability, particularly for individual policies, pose challenges to the market's expansion. The increasing cost of premiums, alongside concerns about policy exclusions and limitations, can impact consumer adoption. Despite these challenges, the long-term outlook for the UK health and medical insurance market remains positive. The projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.56% suggests a considerable increase in market value over the forecast period (2025-2033). This growth is likely to be driven primarily by the continued demand for private healthcare solutions, supplemented by ongoing technological advancements and an evolving regulatory landscape that shapes both competition and consumer access. Recent developments include: On November 2022, in partnership with online platform JAAQ in a six-month trial for boosting access to personalised expert-led health advice online. This adds to Bupa's mental health support which provides ongoing, around-the-clock support for a wealth of mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression and addiction., On February 2022, AXA UK&I acquired renewable rights to Ageas UK's commercial business at an initial consideration of 47.5 million GBP. This acquisition will strengthen AXA's growth strategy and commitment to its commercial business customers and broker partnerships, particularly in the SME and Schemes market segments. As part of the agreement, around 100 Ageas UK employees will move to AXA Commercial to provide ongoing support and service delivery.. Notable trends are: Global Economic Slowdown and Better Government Insurance Services Affecting the United Kingdom Health and Medical Insurance.

Over the five years through 2024-25, the Financial Management industry's revenue is set to dip at a compound annual rate of 0.2% to £13.7 billion, caused by unfavourable demand conditions following the cost-of-living crisis and the COVID-19 outbreak. The pandemic damaged mergers and acquisitions, dropping from £55.6 billion in 2019 to £16.3 billion in 2020 according to the ONS. The cost-of-living crisis further reduced consumer spending, extending economic difficulties into winter 2023 and triggering a recession. These factors decreased business investments in financial management services as companies focused on cutting costs. Despite these obstacles, the industry maintained stability by offering countercyclical services, aiding businesses in efficient cost management while maintaining operations. Since the EU's 2016 Audit Regulation and Directive limited non-audit fees, financial managers have expanded client bases and explored new income sources to balance these caps. With a 2026 deadline to separate audits from non-audit services, pressure is high, particularly for top companies like the Big Four. Technological advancements are also enabling companies to perform tasks internally that were traditionally outsourced to consultants, tightening the market, especially for smaller clients. Intensified competition and decreased demand are driving the financial management sector towards greater innovation. Following a five-year downturn, business spending has begun to recover in 2024-25, driven by increased M&A activity. Business confidence reached an 11-month high in March 2024, according to S&P Global Flash UK PMI. With inflation cooling to 3.2% in March 2024 from 10.1% the previous year, more resources have been available for financial management and M&A efforts. Revenue is expected to grow by 4.9% in 2024-25. Over the five years through 2029-30, industry revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 3.3% to reach £16.1 billion. Improving economic conditions and continued business confidence will push more businesses to increase their spending and invest in M&A activity, increasing demand for advice on managing their finances. In addition, continued low inflation will aid costs for both financial managers and their clients, bolstering profit.

IntroductionDespite the tobacco industry’s (TI) decades-long history of manipulating science, Philip Morris International (PMI) now frames itself as a benevolent funder of science and, in 2017, launched a new scientific organisation, the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World (FSFW). With concerns mounting that PMI’s actions are echoing historical TI influence on science, we aimed to understand the extent to which the public trusts PMI’s involvement in science, and whether channelling funds through a third-party organisation affects these levels of trust.MethodsThrough a representative survey of the UK public (n=1580) we investigated trust in direct (PMI), indirect (FSFW), and no (Cancer Research UK) TI involvement in science. Conservative worldview was investigated as a possible predictor of trust. Structural equation modelling was used to explore associations between variables.ResultsAlthough PMI was significantly less trusted than FSFW and Cancer Research UK, the public did not completely distrust it as a scientific source. Trust in FSFW’s involvement in science was higher before participants understood its TI funding. People with conservative worldviews demonstrated greater trust in TI involvement in science.DiscussionThe UK public needs to be better informed that the TI is not a trustworthy scientific source. Since channelling TI research funds through a third party increases the perceived trustworthiness of its science, steps to prevent such relationships are warranted. People with conservative leanings hold concerning views on TI involvement in science, which may be particularly hard to correct.
