Key Highlights


  • Property and casualty insurance market in New Zealand is estimated to grow at a CAGR of approximately 8% during the forecast period.

  • 2018 was another eventful year for the insurance market in New Zealand, with weather-related losses once again strong (NZD 226 m in 2018 and NZD 243 m in 2017), Insurers responded by raising premiums, which helped them stay profitable. In the last two years, insurance premiums for all personal business classes have increased, with double-digit rises for home rates for both years. In New Zealand, the marine market has seen an increase in written premiums increasing from NZD 126 million in 2016 to NZD 136 million in 2018. During this period, claims values have increased in the last 12 months from 59% to 64%.

  • Property, Motor and personal accident and health insurance were the main drivers of growth, reflecting a share of 91.8 per cent in 2018. Property insurance was the largest sub-segment, with a 42.2% share of Gross Written Premium in 2018. At 24 per cent, life insurance rates in New Zealand are much lower than in many other OECD countries, coverage and premiums for certain non-life insurance policies are relatively high in New Zealand, given its particular risk profile, contributing to a relatively small share of life insurance premiums.

  • New Zealand s largest three and five life insurers account for 54% and 72% of life insurance premiums, respectively. With these two market concentration measures, the life insurance sector in New Zealand is not particularly concentrated and is close to the average. However, there is some merger and acquisition activity in the life insurance market, and the industry is expected to become more centered.

  • Recently, in response to the issues identified in the review and gaps in existing regulation, the Government announced a new financial conduct regime. The plan aims at tackling issues of conduct and encouraging equal consumer service in the sector. The FMA (Financial Market Authority) would allow life insurers to obtain a conduct license. The FMA will regulate the new regime and, under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, will have a full range of licensing and enforcement tools.
