Highlights
Over the next few years, there will be an increasing number of motor insurers and other distributors seeking to enter the household market due to its higher profitability and lower market saturation. The new entrants to the market will increase competition and exert downward pressure on premium rates.
Underwriting cycles are visible in the insurance industry, and take place over the course of several years. The progression of these cycles is visible in the CORs shown in Figure 1 below, between 1988 and 1994 and 1994 and 2004, as well as in the total market underwriting profit/loss progressions.
In 2009, the market share held by bancassurers dropped by 4 percentage points to 13%, after remaining at around 16–17% since 2005. While banks and building societies have largely held onto their share of the private motor insurance market, in 2009, their combined share of the household market saw a drop of 2 points.
