Insurance Data

This article analyses trends in the development of the commercial insurance market in Poland and in Lithuania over the last decade. The insurance market changed in the 2002-2011 period. Those changes can be seen in various fields of commercial insurance. Data on the number of insurers, total premiums written, and the trends in claim payments and claim ratios were used to perform a market trend analysis. It should be emphasized that Poland experienced the results of the financial crisis in the insurance market later than Lithuania, which is visible in specific ratios under analysis. In Lithuania, in terms of insurance expenditures, non-life insurance products are definitely more popular, while in Poland life insurance plays the most important role. Poles buy most life insurance from group 1, and Lithuanians from group 3. In the case of non-life insurance, motor vehicle insurance (third-party liability insurance and casco (collision/personal liability insurance)) and property insurance are the leading forms of insurance purchased by both Poles and Lithuanians, as well as other Europeans.

The paper explores the practical aspects of forming a competitive environment in the non-life insurance market of Ukraine and analyzes the competitiveness and financial performance of leading insurance companies. Based on the analysis of non-life insurance market concentration indicators, the authors concluded that there is no clear leader in this market, the level of market concentration is negligible. Based on the analysis of non-life insurance market leaders by volume of gross insurance premiums in the whole market and by main types of non-life insurance (CASCO, motor vehicle liability insurance, property insurance, fire and catastrophe risk insurance, CARGO, health insurance) the authors found that the leadership of insurance companies in the market does not mean their leadership in all types of non-life insurance; some insurance companies specialize in certain types of insurance and not being leaders in the insurance market at all occupy leading positions in certain segments of non-life insurance market. In order to provide a general assessment of the competitiveness of individual insurance companies in the non-life insurance market, the following indicators were selected: the volume of gross insurance premiums, gross insurance payments, insurance reserves and the amount of equity. In order to assess the size of market share of an individual insurance company in a more objective way, it is suggested to calculate the average share of the insurance company. The calculations made it possible to identify the leaders of the non-life insurance market in 2018 and to explore the dynamics of changes in their competitive position during 2016-2018. For the three insurance companies that have been identified as the leaders of the Ukrainian market non-life insurance in 2018 (“UNIKA”, “AXA Insurance” and “PZU Ukraine”), the authors analyzed the main indicators of their financial condition, namely the profitability of insurance services, profitability of sales, return on assets, return on equity, overall liquidity, absolute liquidity and autonomy. It was found that all the analyzed insurance companies are profitable, however, among the three leading Ukrainian insurance companies, the most effective in 2018 was the insurance company “PZU Ukraine” and the least profitable – “UNIKA”. Keywords: competitiveness, insurance company, market concentration, market share, competition.

Insurance Consumption

In the Slovak Republic, non-life insurance consumption is significantlylower compared to Western European countries. The paper tests various personal, demographic and economic factors and their impact on the individual property insurance demand in the Slovak Republic. Using survey data, we identified the following as statistically significant determinants of property insurance demand: gender, age, marital status, propensity to save, level of income, being a head of household. Our results can help insurers to better understand their potential consumers and to improve their acquisition and segmentation techniques. Our findings are important, especially, in times after launching a new tax on non-life insurance premiums, as individuals in Slovakia are very sensitive to the premium and often fail to buy adequate coverage in property insurance.

The intensity and quality of insurance market development are directly related to the level of competition, concentration and monopolization between insurance companies. Although the insurance market of Ukraine is insignificant in terms of key indicators in comparison with foreign ones, the competitiveness of its insurers is very important to ensure proper insurance protection of policyholders. The article is devoted to the assessment of the processes of concentration and monopolization of the insurance market of Ukraine. The study analyzed the structure of the insurance market by segments, concentration indicators and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index for the market as a whole and for individual types of insurance, gradation of insurance companies by the amount of collected insurance premiums. Based on the assessment, it was determined that the insurance market of Ukraine is generally low concentrated, as well as the sector of risky types of insurance. Among the selected segments of the insurance market, the most concentrated is the CASCO insurance. In the field of health insurance there is a slightly lower level of concentration and monopolization as in the OTSPVVNTZ segment. The market of classical property insurance is the least concentrated. The life insurance segment is characterized by moderate concentration and monopolization. The most powerful insurance companies in the relevant sectors of the insurance market of Ukraine are outlined. Since 2015, the top three leaders of the life insurance market are PJSC “MetLife”, PJSC “Insurance Group TAS” and PJSC “IC UNIСA LIFE”. Virtually unchanged leaders in the field of risk insurance during 2018-2020 were PJSC “IC ARX”, PJSC “IC UNICA” and PJSC “Insurance Group TAS”, which are members of financial groups that include leaders of the life insurance market. In general, the national insurance market is becoming more concentrated, which will be appropriate and accepted benefits while strong market players will not involve their residents, and the state controls these processes.
