Newly released market study: Estonia Insurance Report Q2 2016

We hold a positive outlook for the Estonian insurance industry as a whole. The insurance industry in Estonia is characterised by a small but fairly rapidly evolving market, marked by increasing competition and the domination of motor vehicle and property insurance lines. In the vastly more important non-life segment, the economic recovery and initiatives by the insurers themselves should underpin high single-digit growth in premiums in most sub-sectors in 2016. In the main category, the motor vehicle insurance line, volumes are set to grow, driven by growing incomes and expansion of the national vehicle fleet. We are now expecting double-digit annual growth rates for motor vehicle insurance. In the life segment, a campaign to educate households and companies, led by the major multi-national companies that are present in Estonia, should ensure that premiums will rise quite quickly from a low base over the medium to long term.
