This growth is mainly attributed to the improving segments of life insurance and health insurance. Apart from this, the insurance industry has also benefited from the surging demand for insurance products, changing social structure, rising number of educated and middle class people as well as reforms and tax relaxation policies of the government.
Chinas insurance industry is dominated by the life insurance segment, which has registered a tremendous growth till now. The insurance density and market penetration in China are very low as compared to both developed countries as well as ASEAN region despite high growth rate of the industry as consumers in China still prefer bank deposits and bonds as savings instrument rather than insurance products. Historically, the insurance market had a limited number of companies, due to its centralized structure in China.
