Synopsis

The report provides in depth market analysis, information and insights into the French reinsurance market, including:
  • The French reinsurance markets growth prospects by reinsurance categories 
  • The French reinsurance markets growth prospects by reinsurance ceded from direct insurance segments
  • The competitive landscape in the French reinsurance insurance market
Summary

The French reinsurance segment is the fourth largest in the world in terms of life insurance premium ceded and the fifth largest in the world in terms of non-life insurance premium ceded. The French reinsurance segment is expected to benefit from the growth in the rest of the insurance industry over the forecast period, as French insurance companies tend to cede a portion of their written premium to reinsurance companies in order to mitigate excessive risks. Furthermore, frequent incidents of natural calamities encouraged insurance companies to cede a higher portion of their premium to reinsurance companies in order to avoid incurring huge losses from natural disasters. The reinsurance segment is also expected to benefit from the proposed implementation of Solvency II regulation norms, which will force insurance companies to maintain higher capital reserves and could encourage insurance companies to seek the services of reinsurance companies to improve their risk management in accordance with the new regulations. The reinsurance segment is dominated by global reinsurers. Leading international reinsurance companies such as Munich Re and Swiss Re have strengthened their presence in the country and provide tough competition to local reinsurers.
