Fight for Market Share   

“Hong Kong insurance market is very small and competitive. There are over 100 insurance companies including Life, General, and Composite Insurance Companies.

For life insurance it was growing over the past few years. Because of the expanding middle class in Asia, especially in mainland China,” says Leung.

“Due to such expanding a lot of people getting wealthier, needs for life insurance, medical insurance and superannuation products grows tremendously. One of insurance market they choose to buy is Hong Kong.

“For General Insurance, the competition on price is getting fierce, despite well known deficit lines, like Motor Insurance and Employees’ Compensation Insurance especially related to construction activities. This situation seems to slow down due to quite poor experience of the market.”

He says that since the premium war began 3 decades ago, most clients expect premium cut every year. Hence, service and security may not be the major criteria of a client to choose service providers, but premium.”
