UK Household Insurance Sector Performance Examined by Timetric in In-demand Study Published at MarketPublishers.com

09 Dec 2014 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – Unlike other non-life categories, the household insurance market remained profitable during 2009-2013 due to surging profit margins through pricing in 2011 and a small number of incurred claims in 2013. Going forward, the category’s profitability is expected to be threatened as insurers do not have control over operating expenses and commission costs. The two indicators grew constantly in the recent past, at CAGRs of over 6% and just under 6%, respectively. Moreover, the household category’s strong underwriting is facing certain challenges on the back of as a shift in distribution model in favour of price comparison websites, intensifying competition and putting pressure on prices.
