Research and Markets: Reinsurance in the the US, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017


DUBLIN --(Business Wire)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wkcb77/reinsurance_in) has announced the addition of the "Reinsurance in the the US, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017" report to their offering.

The written premium of the US reinsurance segment increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.7% during the review period (2008-2012). This growth was partially due to positive growth in the personal accident and health segment during the review period. The treaty reinsurance category accounted for 83.9% of total reinsurance written premiums in 2012, with facultative reinsurance accounting for the remaining 16.1%. Economic improvements and projected positive growth in the insurance industry are expected to drive the reinsurance segment over the forecast period. Government increases in rates for flood insurance provide opportunities for private insurers and reinsurers, which will also support growth over the forecast period (2012-2017). The treaty reinsurance category is expected to continue to account for the largest share with 82.1% of the total rensurance written premium in 2017, while facultative reinsurance is expected to increase its share in the overall reinsurance segment to 17.9%.
