The insurance sector remained on a growth path in Q4 2017 with insurance premiums increasing by 5.7% y/y. However, the growth in the sector decelerated substantially in H2 2017 due to the tightening regulations and the saturation of the market in China’s biggest cities. In 2017, the growth in insurance premiums in Shanghai slowed down to 3.8% y/y from 35.9% y/y in 2016. In Beijing, the insurance premiums growth decelerated to 7.2% y/y from 31% y/y in 2016. Due to the slowdown in China’s tier-1 cities, the growth in insurance premiums decelerated in 2017 to 14.9% y/y from 25.3% y/y in the previous year. However, the growth in the less developed provinces remained strong, indicating the still high potential of the Chinese insurance market. The saturation of the insurance market in China’s largest cities resulted in a slowdown in the life and health insurance subsectors. The gross written premiums on life insurance policies decreased by 5.4% y/y in Q4 2017, while for the whole 2017 the life insurance premiums growth slowed down to 16% y/y from 26.2% y/y in 2016. The growth of health insurance premiums for the whole 2017 slowed down to 11.1% y/y after 66.9% y/y in 2016. In contrast with the life and health insurance segments, the property insurance subsector in China performed better in 2017 than in 2016. Driven by the strong growth in the real estate market, the premiums on property insurance policies improved by 12.8% y/y from 9.1% y/y in the previous year. The growth in the property insurance segment remained stable during the whole year. However, in Q4 2017 Chinese property insurance companies registered the slowest growth pace in the year of 10.6% y/y, while the highest growths were registered during Q2 and Q3 - of 14.1% y/y and 14.9% y/y, respectively.
