Property, Car & Other Non-Life Insurance in China industry analysis

Revenue for the Property, Car and Other Non-Life Insurance industry in China is expected to grow an annualized 3.0% over the five years through 2024, to total $237.0 billion. A major driver of industry growth over the past decades has been the Chinese government's compulsory motor vehicle accident liability insurance implementation in 2006.
Of all the insurance services provided by industry enterprises, motor vehicle insurance is expected to account for the largest proportion of 51.5% of industry revenue in 2024. In September 2020, the comprehensive reform of motor vehicle insurance was implemented in China and the average premium income per car declined, resulting in decreases in the premium income of motor vehicle insurance in 2021. Motor vehicle insurance as a share of industry revenue was 60.7% in 2020 and 56.8% in 2021.
Industry enterprise numbers are expected to increase in the coming years. The top four participants in the industry are expected to account for 70.8% of total revenue in 2024. However, this share is forecast to decline due to increased competition and limited opportunities for firm expansion.
From 2020, the restrictions on the proportion of foreign capital of joint venture non-life insurance providers have been officially removed. Foreign capital can have wholly owned non-life insurance company in China, instead of the tops of 51% stake in the past.
Industry revenue is forecast to increase an annualized 3.5% over the five years through 2029, to total $281.5 billion. This rapid increase will be the result of rising demand for motor vehicle insurance due to growing sales of new energy vehicle in China and greater demand for other non-life insurance products from households and enterprises.
