Executive Summary

In Q307 we have incorporated actual data for 2006 in our insurance sector reports. In Q207 much of this data was not available, and we had to make estimates. In international comparison tables, we have also incorporated data from 30 new countries in addition to the 58 for which we had data in Q207. We are now therefore able to place each country into a truly global context.

Actual life premiums rose from THB166,800mn (US$4,147mn) in 2005 to THB180,100mn (US$4,727mn) in 2006. Life premiums therefore increased by 7% in baht terms and by 14% in US dollar terms. Looking forward, we anticipate that life premiums will grow by 10% annually in baht terms in 2006-2011, while we expect that life premiums will grow by 15% annually in US dollar terms.

Among the 88 countries for which we have gathered data, Thailand is in the second quartile in terms of both absolute non-life premiums in 2006, and in terms of absolute growth of non-life premiums that year. We would therefore categorise Thailand as a medium-sized national market for non-life insurance and one where premiums are growing quickly. However, it appears that much of the growth is being accounted for by a booming economy: non-life penetration is not changing quickly.

In 2006 the two most important lines within the non-life segment were motor and other. These two lines accounted for 60% and 25% of non-life premiums respectively.

Thailand is in the second quartile in terms of absolute life premiums in 2006, and in the first quartile in terms of absolute growth of life premiums last year. We would therefore categorise the Thailand as a medium-sized national market for life insurance and one where premiums are growing quickly. Despite the small growth in population in Thailand, much of the growth is being driven by an increase in life density.

In 2006 non-life penetration in Thailand fell by 3.6%, while life density rose by 13% in US dollar terms.
