Czech Republic Insurance Report Q1 2016 - New Market Research Report

The Czech life segment is going to return to more positive growth in 2015 following a relatively stagnant 2014. The life market stands to benefit from new tax incentives as well as a gradually improving domestic economic environment. The Czech non-life sector is expected to show good growth in 2015, driven primarily by an expansion in the large motor vehicle insurance line.

Overall we expect to see good growth in the Czech Republic's life and non-life insurance sectors in 2015, slowing towards the end of our forecast period in 2019. This growth is based upon an increasingly positive outlook for economic recovery in the Czech Republic, though we note some headwinds to growth remain such as intense competition in the fragmented market which places downwards pressure on pricing.

The insurance sector in the Czech Republic is relatively well developed and exhibits sophistication relative to others in the region, thanks to the presence of subsidiaries of multi-nationals which dominate both the life and non-life sector. We believe the Czech Republic insurance sector will continue to be supported by the presence of major international players, with almost all subsidiaries of major multi-national insurers adding gravitas and sophistication to the national market. These companies compete through brand, multi-channel distribution strategies, product innovation and price.

Both the life and non-life segments share a roughly equal portion of the market (at 48.7% and 51.3% respectively), though penetration (premiums against GDP) and density (premiums per capita) in both segments have for some time remained at relatively low levels given the overall income levels in the country. At present, we expect life premiums to grow by 9.6% in 2015, compared to just 4.2% growth in the non-life sector.
