Government Initiatives Supporting MSMEs and SMEs to Adopt Trade Credit Insurance

Boost Asia Pacific Trade Credit Insurance Market

Insurance coverage is critical for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as it lowers financial risks and absorbs risks such as payment defaults. The growing geopolitical issues, economic downturn, instability in the supply chain, inflation, and other factors have increased the risks with exports worldwide, which boosts the demand for trade credit insurance among MSMEs for making seamless payments. Moreover, historical trends indicate that the majority of MSMEs and SMEs in India are uninsured, as they fail to understand the need for insurance. They only purchase insurance when a buyer or a bank requires it, which makes them vulnerable to financial risks. This also encourages the government to take initiatives to support MSMEs and SMEs in adopting trade credit insurance to secure their business from financial risks and payment defaults. For instance, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) trade credit insurance guidelines, 2021, support MSMEs and SMEs to adopt trade credit insurance to protect their businesses from evolving insurance risk. The guidelines include:

• The government and market players promote sustainable and strong development of the trade credit insurance business.

• General insurance companies offer trade credit insurance covers to suppliers, licensed banks, and other financial institutions to help them manage business risk and open access to new markets. Trade credit insurance supports businesses to manage nonpayment risk associated with trade financing portfolios.

• General insurance companies provide customized trade credit insurance covers that improve businesses for SMEs and MSMEs and help protect themselves against evolving insurance risks.

Thus, favorable guidelines and other government initiatives supporting MSMEs and SMEs to adopt trade credit insurance for safeguarding their businesses from financial risks fuel the market growth.

The Asia Pacific trade credit insurance market is segmented into China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific.

For instance, according to an International Monetary Fund report published on April 2024, APAC has been observing slow trade since 2023 due to continuity in the inflation pressures among businesses. The global decrease in commodity and goods prices, monetary tightening, supply-chain disruptions, and high interest rates are a few other factors increasing the demand for trade credit insurance among businesses to protect themselves against financial risks. The growing cases of business insolvencies in APAC are expected to create significant opportunities for trade credit insurance market growth during the forecast period. For instance, according to Atradius N.V. report published on September 2023, the insolvency rate in APAC will continue to increase in 2024 due to the rising cases of bankruptcy faced by firms, less support from the government, and the presence of a financially challenging environment for companies. According to the same source, increasing incidents of business failures in countries, including Hong Kong (68%) and South Korea (45%), and growing cases of business insolvencies in Singapore (49%), India (50%), and Australia (45%) are expected to create new opportunities for the trade credit insurance market growth in the coming years.
