Non-Life Insurance in Ireland, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017, New Report Launched

Non-life insurance was the second-largest segment in the Irish insurance industry in 2012, representing an industry share of 13.3%. The segment could not escape the repercussions of the financial crisis which resulted in a reduction in sales and increased levels of competition. The segment’s written premium decreased from EUR4.8 billion (US$7.0 billion) in 2008 to EUR4.3 billion (US$5.5 billion) in 2012, at a review-period (2008–2012) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -2.9%. However, factors such as standard corporate tax rates, favorable policies for foreign investors and a network of tax treaties with EU nations are anticipated to attract some of the world’s largest insurers and reinsurers to Ireland over the forecast period (2012–2017). Moreover, an improvement to insurer’s solvency positions due to new regulations and the implementation of Solvency II Directives are expected to attract more business to the segment. As such, it is expected to rise at a forecast-period CAGR of 4.3%, to value EUR5.3 billion (US$6.7 billion) by 2017.
