Best's Market Segment Report: Taiwan's Non-Life Insurance Premiums Continue to Increase Amid Underwriting Improvements
HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Taiwan's domestic non-life insurance premium continued to increase in 2024, growing 10.5% to reach TWD 278.5 billion (USD 9.2 billion), according to a new AM Best report. The Best's Market Segment Report, 'Taiwan Non-Life Segment's Operating Performance Supported by Tighter Underwriting Guidelines,' also notes that this segment's overall capital & surplus level has continued to improve and crossed the TWD 150 billion mark last year. The driving force of Taiwan's non-life segment remains motor insurance, particularly voluntary motor, which contributed close to half of the segment's direct written premiums in 2024, despite the slightly slower overall premium growth last year, partly due to subdued growth in new car sales during 2024 and through the first quarter of 2025. In order to bolster electric vehicle (EV) coverage, Taiwan's insurance regulator implemented standardised EV motor policy terms in the second half of 2024. 'However, the motor segment remains cautious over expanding in this product line while insurers continue to accumulate data and claims experience to aid pricing sophistication,' said James Chan, director, AM Best. The combined gross written premiums of AM Best's eight rated non-life insurers rose 10.6% to TWD 192.8 billion in 2024, similar to the market's growth of 10.5% reported by all 14 domestic non-life insurers. All rated entities achieved premium gains in 2024, driven by expansions in voluntary motor, travel insurance and commercial lines. According to the report, Taiwan's non-life insurance segment achieved significant improvement in operating profitability for 2023 and 2024. Notably, following a year of historically poor performance in 2022, the market achieved a profit turnaround in 2023, due to the release of pandemic insurance-related reserves and the efforts of non-life insurers to bolster underwriting guidelines. 'Company strategies have included non-renewing unprofitable policies, increasing rates, raising policy deductibles, or applying higher co-insurance percentages,' Chan said. 'These measures are aimed at passing on part of the rising reinsurance costs and potential future losses to policyholders. Insurers also have adopted a more proactive approach in offering risk advisory services and implementing loss prevention measures.' To access the full copy of this report, please visit

I bring healthcare to people's homes in Singapore. AI is changing home care, but it can't replace clinicians.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Dr. Shravan Verma, the cofounder and CEO of Speedoc, a Singapore-based health tech startup. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. As someone who has worked in both tertiary hospitals as well as some underserved environments, I saw the opportunity to create a virtual hospital that brings healthcare directly to where patients are, starting with their homes. Why should access to hospital-grade care be dependent on geography or infrastructure? The home will become the new center of care, and AI will be the invisible infrastructure enabling this shift. With AI software becoming more sophisticated and AI-enabled hardware becoming more accessible, care will become more personalized. I see the future of home care as a hybrid, with AI-enabled self-care tools integrated into regulated, human-involved systems. Singapore and the region are more ready than we think. In Singapore, we're already seeing strong policy alignment and public trust in digital systems. Even the patient mindset is maturing around receiving care outside traditional hospitals. Embedded AI AI is already a foundational layer of our operations. Our command center uses AI to triage patient cases, optimize our logistics for clinician dispatch, and even anticipate escalation risks. For example, AI models continuously analyze data from devices like pulse oximeters, BP monitors, or even passive sensors. If a patient's vitals begin trending dangerously, clinicians are alerted before deterioration sets in. We've prevented emergency room visits this way. The next phase is using AI for predictive care, orchestration, preempting deterioration in chronic patients, automating routine follow-ups, and eventually building an AI copilot for our clinicians. Clinicians expect systems to support and not slow down their work. Our nurses and doctors are asking for tools that reduce admin burden, triage smarter, and give them more actionable insights. Patients, too, are increasingly comfortable with these digital touchpoints, but they do want these to feel personalized and intelligent. Clinicians will be transformed, not replaced, by AI AI will transform but not replace the clinician role, especially in home settings. Their role becomes more relational as AI simplifies documentation and supports better decision-making. AI can't replicate the presence, empathy, and nuanced judgment in uncertain or complex conditions. It can't speak with family and understand what's best for the patient. AI can tell you — worst case — you're having a heart attack, but then what do you do about it? I know the diagnosis of a heart attack, but I need to be sent immediately to a hospital, make sure that I get stented, and get the catheterization, which is still very human-driven. Somebody also has to ensure continuity, ensure the administration of treatments and follow-ups, and ensure that the patients are improving as they're supposed to. Many of the conditions we treat at home also require IV drips, IV antibiotics, blood tests, and urine tests. Lead with outcomes, not AI Chatbots and AI tools can handle the first mile of care, but they must escalate to qualified professionals when needed. We need to be vigilant about bias in training data and sometimes a lack of contextual nuances in understanding what a patient's condition is. One of the key challenges with AI is confabulation, which is AI coming up with analysis or data that didn't exist for the patient. Governance, transparency, and auditability must be baked into every AI deployment. When it comes to AI-driven home care, the key is not to lead with AI but with outcomes and convenience. Patients don't really ask, "Is this AI?" They ask, "Is this faster, safer, more personalized?" When AI helps a patient get triaged within minutes or enables a nurse to show up at the right time with the right medication, that builds confidence. The real unlock is making sure AI remains transparent, empathetic, and always augments, not replaces, the human touch.

Why aren't Chinese consumers spending enough
BEIJING — China's consumer spending shows little sign of picking up soon, given uncertainty about future wealth, changing preferences and lack of a social safety net. It's been four straight months of declining consumer prices, consumer confidence is hovering near historic lows, and the real estate market is struggling to turn around. Analysts repeatedly point to one main factor: stagnant income. Disposable income in China has halved its pace of growth since the pandemic hit in 2020, now growing only by an average of 5% a year, Jeremy Stevens, Beijing-based Asia economist at Standard Bank, said in a report Wednesday. Most jobs aren't giving much of a raise. Out of 16 sectors, only three — mining, utilities and information technology services — have seen wage growth exceed that of gross domestic product since 2020, he said. Monthly business surveys for May showed contraction in the labor market across the board, especially as factories navigate U.S. tariffs. The unemployment rate among young people aged 16 to 24 and not in school remained high in April at 15.8%. The official jobless rate in cities has hovered around 5%. A record high of 64% Chinese households said in the third quarter of 2024 that they would rather save money rather than spend or invest it, according to a quarterly survey by the People's Bank of China. While that moderated to 61.4% in the fourth quarter, according to the latest survey released in March, it reflected a trend of more than 60% of respondents preferring to save that's been recorded since late 2023. And for the respondents who planned to increase spending, education was the top category, followed by health care and tourism, according to the PBOC's fourth-quarter survey released in March. More than half of respondents viewed the job market as becoming more difficult or hard to tell. People in China have been culturally inclined to save, especially since limited insurance coverage means individuals must often bear most of the cost of a hospital treatment, higher education and retirement. The real estate slump of the last few years has also weighed on spending since property accounts for most of household wealth in China. One way to make people more willing to spend is to more than double pension payouts, by increasing the share of state assets paid to the Ministry of Finance, Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities, said in a note. He added that increasing public holidays and offering services sector consumption vouchers could also help. In the last few weeks, Chinese authorities have stepped up plans to further support employment and improve social welfare. But policymakers have avoided the mass cash handouts that the U.S. and Hong Kong gave residents to stimulate spending after the pandemic. Coming out of the pandemic, analysts cautioned that retail sales in China would recover very slowly as major uncertainties for consumers remained unresolved. In the decade before the pandemic, "Chinese consumers were willing and able to buy any innovation, even innovations that were not that really innovations," said Bruno Lannes, Shanghai-based senior partner with Bain & Company's consumer products and retail practices. "In today's world they are more rational. They know what they want," he said on a webinar Thursday. China is scheduled to report retail sales for May on Monday. Analysts polled by Reuters predict a slowdown to 4.9% year-on-year growth, down from 5.1% in April. Another factor behind negative CPI reads is that Chinese consumers are turning to lower-priced products, either partly benefiting from the overproduction of relatively high-quality goods, or moving away from big cities to places where the cost of living is lower. Shanghai lost 72,000 permanent residents last year, while Beijing saw a 26,000 drop, Worldpanel and Bain & Company pointed out in a report Thursday. The two cities are typically categorized as "tier 1" cities in China. As a result of the population shift, smaller cities categorized as "tier 3" and "tier 4" experienced far higher growth in the volume and value of daily necessities sold last year — helping offset a decline in the tier 1 cities, the report said. The study covered packaged food, beverages, personal care and home care. It found that while the overall volume of such goods sold in China rose by 4.4% last year, average selling prices fell by 3.4%, as consumers preferred lower-priced products and businesses increased promotions. The trend is even influencing flower sales. The Kunming International Flora Auction Trading Center in Yunnan province, Asia's largest flower market, said in May that more demand is coming from less affluent lower-tier cities, resulting in higher volumes but lower average selling prices. Business has quieted down after the busy May holiday season, Li Shenghuan, a flower seller near the trading center, said Friday. She said flower prices have come down slightly, partly because more people have been growing flowers. She expects demand to pick up around the National Day holiday in early October. For a sense of the disparity, rural per capita disposable income has been less than half that of cities for years, according to official data. Per capita disposable income in urban areas last year was 54,188 yuan ($7,553). That's far less than the $64,474 reported for the U.S. as of December. Standard Bank's Stevens pointed out that the ratio of consumption to income in rural areas has "substantially increased" and surpassed pre-pandemic levels, while that of urban households has declined. But he noted that lower-income households don't have the scale of wealth that higher-income groups do in order to meaningfully increase consumption in the near term. The top 20% accounts for half of total income and consumption in China, and 60% of total savings, he said. "Policy support for low-income groups, while well-meaning, is insufficient without structural wage reform." In addition, China's "common prosperity" rhetoric "has introduced institutional realignments and policy shifts that, while well-intentioned, have added to the uncertainty," Stevens said, noting the changes have 'yet to fully find a new equilibrium."
