The life insurance market in Hong Kong has many players, but the market shares are majorly held by three insurance giants. In 2016, these three insurers- AIA, China life, Prudential- accounted for more than half of all the premium revenues collected in the industry. The way to survival will be to consolidate the smaller firms to survive the competition. These are the trends that are observed as well in the life insurance market of Hong Kong. The number of mergers and acquisitions are set to increase due to the tough competition and availability of abundant buyers in the market.
The latest development in the market is AXA and MassMutual who sold their life insurance units in the city; MetLife expected to be the next online. Though there are many players keen to invest in the life insurance market of Hong Kong, the most viable option will be to purchase an existing, operating company due to the difficulties in obtaining insurance licenses in Hong Kong. Though the rules are strict for purchasing insurance companies, experts believe they will be relaxed in the future.
