Nigeria Insurance Report Q3 2016 - New Study Released

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Thu Jun 16 2016


Despite of being small in scale at present, Nigeria's insurance sector has significant growth potential and is well-placed to expand rapidly in the foreseeable future , as rising disposable income and a growing middle class provide an uptick in demand for key consumer lines. These factors will render the Nigerian market increasingly attractive to foreign investors - whose presence will likely increase market consolidation as well as accelerate product innovations.

Key Updates And Forecasts

Nigeria's life insurance segment will remain under-developed; however, it will display rapid growth rates of 12.5% annually over the coming years, reaching NGN185.6bn (USD700mn) in 2020 - up from NGN113.8bn (USD530mn) in 2016.

Accounting for 66% of total premiums written in 2016, non-life insurance will continue to be the larger insurance segment in Nigeria. However, with an expected market share of 63% in 2020, it will be outperformed by life insurance in terms of growth potential. Over the coming years, non-life insurance will grow by 8.8% annually to NGN317.9bn (USD1.2bn) in 2020 - up from NGN225bn (USD1.05bn) in 2016.

Key factors accounting for these growth prospects include the demographic changes in Nigeria's large population alongside growth in disposable income, giving rise to a larger middle-class. Over time, these macro trends should attract increasingly more foreign investors seeking to establish a presence in Nigeria's growing insurance sector. Increased consolidation through acquisitions by foreign firms, especially within non-life insurance, is not out of the question as a large number of smaller domestic firms continue to struggle to raise capital in accordance with the NAICOM's capital requirements.
