Singapore medical insurance costs to stay stable at 12% in 2025

Driven by ageing population and rise in diseases.

Singapore’s medical insurance costs are projected to remain stable at 12% in 2025, consistent with 2024 levels, WTW said.

The firm noted high pharmacy costs are driven by an ageing population, a rise in chronic diseases, the high cost of advanced therapies and biologics, preferences for branded over generic medication, and supply chain and inflation challenges.

Meanwhile, APAC is expected to lead global medical inflation with 12.3% increase in 2025 from 11.9% this year.

More than three-quarters (76%) of insurers in APAC anticipate higher or significantly higher medical trends over the next three years.

Demand for medical care is expected to stay high, with 62% of insurers in the region predicting increased or significantly higher healthcare service demand over the next three years.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
