In July, the general agencies (GA) channel for non-life insurance companies saw long-term insurance sales nearing 40 billion KRW, marking a three-month streak of growth. DB Insurance retained its top position, followed by KB Insurance and Samsung Fire. As competition in the simplified insurance market intensifies, some mid-sized and small companies also performed well. This article delves into the market trends and detailed performance of each company.
The GA channel performance for long-term insurance in July continued its upward trend, influenced by an increase in business days. According to research from the 'Better Insurance GA Research Institute' operated by Insurance Journal, the estimated GA performance for July was 39.9 billion KRW, a 5.2% increase from the previous month’s 37.9 billion KRW.
Top Performers and Rankings
DB Insurance achieved the highest sales with 7.59 billion KRW, thanks to balanced growth across comprehensive health insurance, simplified insurance, and driver insurance, maintaining its 1st place. KB Insurance followed in 2nd place with 6.97 billion KRW, despite an increase in simplified insurance and child insurance sales. Samsung Fire ranked 3rd with 6.32 billion KRW, Meritz Fire took 4th with 5.63 billion KRW, and Hyundai Marine & Fire ranked 5th with 5.38 billion KRW.
Competition in Simplified Insurance Market
The simplified insurance market is expanding, but the performance gap between insurance companies remains narrow. Samsung Fire recorded 3.1 billion KRW, KB Insurance 2.9 billion KRW, and both DB Insurance and Meritz Fire recorded 2.8 billion KRW in simplified insurance sales, showing similar performance among the top insurers.
Mid-Sized Companies' Performance
Mid-sized companies also saw significant performance increases due to strong sales in comprehensive and simplified insurance. Hanwha General Insurance recorded 3.13 billion KRW, a 15.1% increase from the previous month, driven by comprehensive insurance focusing on major cancer treatments and integrated cancer diagnosis. Heungkuk Fire & Marine Insurance saw a 24.2% increase, recording 1.17 billion KRW, supported by strong sales in minor simplified insurance.
The GA channel performance for non-life insurance in July reflects the ongoing growth in the long-term insurance market. Although competition in the simplified insurance market is fierce, it is difficult to create a significant performance gap. Going forward, growth in comprehensive insurance, child insurance, and driver insurance will be crucial in determining the rankings of non-life insurance companies. With new simplified insurance products targeting minor health issues set to launch in August, further market changes are anticipated, requiring close attention to evolving trends.
