What changed
Tanzania’s insurance market grew 68.4% in 2025, reaching TZS 2.55 trillion in gross written premiums, or about USD 985 million.
Health premiums rose 426.2%. The Tanzania Insurance Regulatory Authority presented its 2025 annual market report in Dodoma on 16 October 2026.
Why it matters
The headline is not just that Tanzania’s insurance market got bigger. Health insurance was the standout part of that expansion, making it the clearest sign of where premium growth was concentrated.
That matters for insurers and policyholders alike. Providers are handling a much larger health-insurance market, while policyholders are part of a sector whose biggest reported surge came in health coverage. But the figures provided do not show the absolute value of health premiums, why they rose so sharply, or whether claims outcomes changed alongside premium growth.
