The Life Insurance Market
|
New figures for plus-size clothes show that Britain has an obesity problem which may encourage more people to get sickness insurance.
Designer Marc Jacobs highlighted the stats from Mintel which show that there are now more than 6 million (6.2 million) women in the UK who wear size 18 or above.
In just the last five years, the size of the plus-size market has increased by almost half (45 per cent), compared to an overall womenswear market growth of 15 per cent. The women's plus-size market is now worth close to £4bn (£3.8bn).
Rising obesity levels could also mean a rise in weight-related illnesses, such as diabetes, so more people should get sickness insurance to mitigate against it happening.
