Now Available: Kuwait Insurance Report Q2 2016

We remain of the view that much of the growth in the entire insurance sector will arise from greater purchase of (compulsory) heal th insurance by expatriates. Secular constraints to the expansion of other non-life sub-sectors - and the life segment - will continue to prevail. Kuwaiti companies continue t o look for opportunities in othe r countries.

Key Updates And Forecasts

In many ways, Kuwait is an archetypal GCC region insurance market. It is, and will remain, under-developed by most metrics. In the larger, non-life segment, the main constraint is the small scale of most of the companies. In the life segment, the main constraint is that Kuwaiti nationals do not need the offerings of the life companies (including international players and local composites). This is because of the comprehensive social security benefits that are available.

This quarter, we have not materially changed our forecasts for either of the major segments. The non-life segment should achieve solid growth in premiums of about 8% annually. This is mainly because of growing demand from expatriates for (compulsory) private health insurance cover. Most of the other sub-sectors will continue to be constrained by slow expansion in volumes or price competition. Al-Ahleia's take-over of Kuwait Re (in which it has already had a significant investment) in late 2015 is another example of a Kuwait company that is seeking opportunities in other countries.

The life sub-sector should expand by around 2% annually. Activity will continue to be dominated by the provision of protection and savings products to expatriates.
