ParticipantInsurance penetration and density are the two measures to check the performance of the insurance sector in an economy. Penetration is the ratio of annual premium to GDP of an economy. Density is the ratio of the annual premium to the total population of an economy. Higher the ratios, better the performance of the insurance sector in that country.
However, the main thing to look into is these ratios further depend on the characteristics of the individuals that constitute the economy such as gender, age, smoker/non smoker, occupation, etc.
