Short term insurance in South Africa:

Insurance industry in South Africa is struggling to grow revenue and maintain profitability due to weak economy, coronavirus pandemic, declining employment, declining disposable income and increasing climate-related risks.

The coronavirus pandemic has resulted in significant losses for businesses, particularly in the hospitality, travel and tourism sectors.

Some companies have launched business interruption claims and some insurers have refused to pay. Globally, insurance demand is expected to contract in 2020, with trade and travel related insurance businesses such as marine, aviation and credit expected to have been hardest hit.

Great players:

Of the 166 insurance companies registered with the Reserve Bank as of September 2020, 86 are non-life insurers, 75 are life insurers and five are mixed.

Auto insurance is the largest category of short-term insurance, followed by property and liability. The top 10 short-term insurers have dominated the industry for years, accounting for around 77% of gross written premiums in 2018. Santam has twice the market share of its nearest competitor.

Industry trends:

Climate change-related disasters are increasing in frequency and severity and have been identified as one of the top risks for insurers.

Technology is disrupting the industry and making insurance more accessible, while customers demand flexible and personalized insurance products tailored to their risk profiles. Stricter capital and compliance measures are making it difficult for some smaller players to remain viable.
