The Sector At A Glance

Key Insights On The Insurance Sector Of India

Past regulations, and the entrenched positions of the local majors, have represented a formidable barrier to entry to multi-national insurers. Relative to the overall market opportunity, India is not particularly crowded with cross-border non-life firms.

Indeed, it would be fair to say that India is unusual in that the non-life segment continues to be dominated by insurance companies that are still state-owned enterprises.

The life sector continues to be dominated totally by LIC, a state-owned insurer that is fully owned by the government and that is still nearly a monopoly.

The authorities are making gradual progress towards changes that will benefit consumers and businesses that use insurance. Liberalisation is also, on the whole, good news for private sector insurers, be they local or foreign.

The government, as sole shareholder of the life insurance titan and four of the largest non-life firms, has a lot to lose from liberalisation of the insurance sector. Its own financial problems increase the likelihood of privatisations. However, deal-making will not be easy - and not just because of the political opposition that will have to be overcome.

Key Features Of This Report & Likely Future Changes

As we envisaged earlier this year, this report includes a completely new and updated Analysis of Competitive Conditions. We have looked at the corporate websites of around 60 companies to assess where they are active in the non-life and/or the life segments. We have also considered the likely growth in absolute premiums, both for the 36 countries that we survey, and for 24 others. A key observation is that there are many countries where the numbers of cross-border insurance companies are surprisingly large, given the scale of the market opportunity: conversely, there is a number of countries where the cross-border insurance companies that are present are surprisingly small.

In the third quarter of 2006, we hope to improve the Analysis of Competitive Conditions and to include actual premium statistics for the end of 2005.
