Greece Property & Casualty Insurance Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Greece Property & Casualty Insurance Market according to our research experts:
Increase in Motor Vehicle Usage
In recent years, motor vehicle usage has been increasing year-on-year in the country, and 49% of the non-life insurance business comes from MTPL (motor third-party liability). The government has made motor third-party liability insurance and aviation liability insurance compulsory. Since motor vehicle usage is increasing, as a result, subscription of MTPL or any motor insurance is expected to rise. After six years of recession (2008-2014), Greece returned to growth rates (+0.4%) in 2014. However, this trend was interrupted in 2015 and the economy ended the year with a recession of -0.2%. Later it slightly recovered, and in 2017, the GDP was at 1.4% and non-life insurance saw growth as it is linked with the economy. In Greece, motor insurance holds the highest share in non-life, so it is expected to increase during the forecast period. Since 2016 (MTPL) motor third-party liability claims cost slightly reduced from EUR 1,695 to EUR 1,400 in 2018, and this is expected to recover in the coming years.
Insurance Penetration is Low and is an Opportunity to Expand Business
The Greek economy has been in recession since 2010 and has the lowest level of insurance penetration in the European Union. Nevertheless, there are pockets of growth and optimism. The financial crisis in Greece was a big opportunity for businesses to disrupt the existing insurance business model. In Greece, insurance penetration is low, and it turns out to be an opportunity for insurers to expand their businesses and increase their market shares.
