India’s employee medical plan costs are projected to rise 11.5% in 2026, down from 13% in 2025, according to Aon’s 2026 Global Medical Trend Rates Report, signaling a slowdown after two years of rapid growth.
The rate remains above the global average of 9.8% and aligns with the Asia Pacific’s expected 11.3% increase.
Reduced healthcare utilization is driving the moderation, though cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and gastrointestinal conditions—linked to hypertension, high cholesterol, and poor nutrition—continue as top cost drivers.
Rising expenses are also fueled by specialty drugs, chronic diseases, and limited medical infrastructure.
Employers are countering with flexible benefits, preventive health programs, telehealth, and data-driven cost controls to manage inflation and support workforce health.
