Research report: Insurance market in Poland, 2019

## Research Report: Insurance market in Poland, 2019-2021

Poland has the largest insurance sector within the CEE with nearly €15 billion in premium written p.a. and almost 40% regional share in terms of GWP.
There are mixed trends observed in the insurance sector in Poland recently. While the non-life segment continues with a strong growth, the life insurance segment struggles with re-adjusting of product and service offering to the new regulatory regime. Premium in the non-life segment jumped by 7% in 2018 and by 3% in 1H 2019, and it is expected to top PLN 42 billion by year end 2019. By contrast, the premium in the life segment continued to decline, falling by nearly 12% in 2018 and going down again by another 3% in 1H 2019.
