M2 - Wed Jul 23, 6:56AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8559kx/life_insurance_in) has announced the addition of the "Life Insurance in the UK, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2018" report to their offering. The life insurance segment in the UK accounted for 69.3% of the total industry's gross written premium in 2013 after posting a review-period (2009-2013) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.4%. The slower growth was associated with lower consumer confidence after the global financial and European debt crises, which led to a decline in the segment from 2008 until 2011. However, due to government actions and regulatory changes, the overall life segment increased at a CAGR of 4.0% during 2011-2013. Group life insurance recorded positive growth, although individual life insurance declined due to low levels of confidence in investments, increased regulatory scrutiny by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and changes in pensions during the review period. Key Highlights - The life insurance segment in the UK accounted for 69.3% of the total industry's gross written premium in 2013. - The life insurance segment in the UK is very well developed, with a high penetration rate of 8.7% of GDP in 2013. - The introduction of the Retail Distribution Review (RDR) in December 2012, a government initiative designed to increase consumer trust and confidence in insurance products and services, is expected to drive future growth in the life segment. - Group life insurance recorded positive growth when compared to individual life insurance, due to the high volume of overseas business. - In 2014, the UK government announced changes in the pension regime, including giving workers more control over their pension funds after retirement. - The UK life segment is concentrated, with the top 10 companies accounting for 78.7% of the segment's gross written premium in 2012.

Income Protection and Critical Illness Insurance in the UK - Report: Premium Growth is Expected to Settle at 4.3% by 2017
M2 - Thu Sep 19, 11:11AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zncsds/income_protection) has announced the addition of the "Income Protection and Critical Illness Insurance in the UK, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017" report to their offering. New business premiums in the income protection and critical illness market grew by 14.5% in 2012, which coincided with an increase in mortgage sales. However, the income protection gap in the UK has remained significant, rising by 46% between 2002 and 2012. The income protection and critical illness market recorded a decline of 14.6% in 2008, with new business premiums falling by 24.4% in 2009. The recession has affected household finances, reducing the demand for discretionary income protection and critical illness policies. The fall in mortgage lending from 2008 onwards was accompanied by a decline in the sale of income protection and critical illness policies, usually taken out by homebuyers. Nevertheless, insurers delivered a steady volume of new business in the income protection and critical illness market during the review period. The critical illness category accounted for 48.3% of the total new business premiums, while income protection represented 31.2%. Income protection dominated group policy sales, accounting for 81.0% of group new business premiums in 2012. The group critical illness sub-category achieved significant growth of 99.2% between 2008 and 2012, with its share in total group new business premiums rising from 6.0% to 19.0% in the same period. Key Highlights - Income protection and critical illness market delivers steady performance as protection gap widens - Income protection and critical illness products will continue to increase their presence - Stable claim payouts are expected to rebuild consumer trust in the industry - Advisors will shift their attention towards protection business in the post-RDR world - Regulatory changes will bring further uncertainty Companies Mentioned: - Aegon UK Plc - Aviva Plc - HSBC Holdings Plc - Legal & General Group - Liverpool Victoria Group - Lloyds Banking Group - Partnership Life Assurance Ltd - Royal London Group - Unum Group - Zurich Financial Services Ltd For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zn...protection About Research and Markets Research and Markets is the world's leading source for international market research reports and market data.

Household Insurance in the UK Report: Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017
M2 - Wed Jul 10, 6:33AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3bhgr6/household) has announced the addition of the "Household Insurance in the UK, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017" report to their offering. Gross written premiums in the household insurance category rose by 0.6% annually in 2012, slowing from the expansion recorded in 2011. Premium income totaled GBP5.26 billion in 2012 and grew at a CAGR of 3.24% between 2008 and 2012. The strength of the housing market is a primary driver of demand for household insurance. 2012 saw slower growth in mortgage lending and house prices, and a slump in private housing construction. The soft recovery in the UK housing market, coupled with the fragility in the wider economy, will remain a challenge for the household insurance category. A strong rebound in economic growth is not expected to materialize until 2014, but as this recovery gains traction, growth rates in premiums will also pick up. Claims paid by household insurers jumped by 11.3% in 2012, in li
