Life Insurance in Portugal, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2018

Synopsis

Life insurance was the largest segment in the Portuguese insurance industry in 2013. Portugal’s weak economic environment and rising unemployment rate, as a result of the financial crisis and the subsequent sovereign debt crisis, led to a decline in life insurance sales during the review period (2009-2013). The segment declined at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -2.6%. However, the segment is expected post a forecast period (2013-2018) CAGR of 2.0% due to projected economic growth following Portugal’s bailout program in May 2014.

The life insurance segment is highly concentrated, with the 10 leading insurers accounting for 91.6% of the segment’s gross written premium in 2013. As of 2013, 30 insurers – domestic and foreign – were operational in Portugal.
