Book excerpt: Globalization has made a profound impact on the Indian insurance industry and has resulted in an overall increase in the awareness of the insuring public about the wide range and choice of insurance products and their prices offered by the competing insurers in the market. Several new and innovative products have been designed, developed and introduced into the market, particularly by private players. All these favorable conditions for the insurance sector, need an evaluation of trends in the product portfolio, to examine the growth and development in the insurance sector in the post-liberalization period. The study aims at examining the emerging trends of each product portfolio in the public sector and the private sector general insurance companies in the post-liberalization era to identify the gaps and to make suggestions to general insurance companies to increase spread penetration by improving their product portfolio performance. The study concludes that the Indian general insurance industry lacks balanced product portfolio performance, as the companies emphasize only few portfolios like motor, fire, health, etc., where the need of the hour is to have a balanced portfolio performance to sustain general insurance penetration. So, the general insurance companies should market their entire portfolio to achieve balanced portfolio performance and increased insurance penetration.
