Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 07/19/2012 --The written premium value of the Hungarian non-life insurance segment slightly declined during the review period. This decline was primarily due to a decline in new vehicle sales and regulatory changes. During the review period, natural disasters, such as floods in 2006 and 2010, caused large-scale loss of life and property damage; and, consequently, had a significant impact on the Hungarian non-life insurance segment. However, over the forecast period, the growth of the non-life insurance segment is expected to be driven by the development of large-scale renewable energy and infrastructure projects, coupled with an increase in customer awareness of property insurance that is expected to require innovative and customized non-life insurance products.

Key Highlights

- During the review period, natural disasters, such as floods in 2006 and 2010, caused large-scale loss of life and property damage; and, consequently, had a significant impact on the Hungarian non-life insurance segment.
- The high level of competition in the motor insurance category has led to price wars among the leading motor insurance providers during the review period.
- A significant proportion of Hungarian property insurance policies are for protection against natural disasters, as the country is prone to hailstorms and floods.
- The Hungary non-life segment consists of both domestic and foreign companies and is highly competitive. Moderate growth opportunities are anticipated over the forecast period, as the country's favorable macroeconomic environment and moderate forecast GDP growth are expected to lead to an increase in income levels.
- The Hungarian non-life insurance segment is dominated by foreign insurers, with the country's leading insurers competing by offering products and services at low prices due to high levels of competition. Allianz, Generali-Providencia, Groupama Garanacia, Aegon Magyarorszag Altalanos and UNIQA Insurance are the leading five foreign insurance companies offering non-life insurance in Hungary."
