COVID-19 Impact

Rising Insurance Claims amid COVID-19 to Propel Demand across Healthcare Sector

The novel coronavirus pandemic is impacting the Latin American economy. Observing several preliminary indicators from the first quarter of 2020, a minor decline is observed in the overall demand for fraud prevention across various applications. Also, due to COVID 19, various business plans, government strategies, and projected investment, and others are on hold owing to lack of operability. The stance for the fraud detection and prevention market size in the second half of the year 2020 and beyond, remains uncertain.

In Brazil, across healthcare sectors, individuals are processing their insurance claims for medical expenses for COVID-19. This rise in the number of online insurance claims has offered opportunities for fraudsters to develop fraud cases to extract insurance claims from hospitals and governments. This will drive the adoption of fraud prevention solutions across healthcare and government sectors. Also, according to MasterCard Incorporated, the study reveals that maximum users are adopting contactless payment modes based on fraud prevention solutions during this pandemic situation.

The overall market in Latin America is expected to develop with a considerable CAGR during the period (2021-2028). The significant growth in the market is owing to the rising demand for online retail sales in countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Peru, and other countries. In Brazil, Mexico, and other countries, while shopping online, users generally prefer secured payment methods for completing payment to ensure security from online payment fraud and scams.
