Bupa Global has continued to make strong progress in the first half of 2026. Revenue and underlying profit both increased as we welcomed more customers and continued to invest in delivering a better healthcare experience for our customers.
Our performance was supported by higher customer volumes and higher average premiums, net of reduced investment income. This demonstrates continued demand for international private medical insurance (IPMI) around the world.
Across the wider Bupa Global, India and UK market unit, revenue increased 11% to £3.1 billion, while underlying profit increased 26% to £154 million at constant exchange rates. Within Bupa Global specifically, revenue and underlying profit both increased. They were driven by higher volumes and average premiums.
The results come as Bupa continues to invest in its ambition to become a more connected, customer-centric healthcare company. Across the wider business, insurance customers increased by 12% to 49.7 million.
“We are at the halfway point of our 3x100 Strategy and we are encouraged to see more customers than ever choose Bupa which is driving strong performance as we scale the business. This is enabling us to invest further in our digital and in-person health provision to make it even easier for our customers to access high-quality care in a way that’s convenient for them.”
- Iñaki Ereño, Group CEO
