Best's Market Segment Report: AM Best Maintains Stable Outlook on Italy's Non-Life Insurance Segment
AMSTERDAM, May 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has maintained its stable outlook on Italy's non-life insurance segment. In its new Best's Market Segment Report, "Market Segment Outlook: Italy Non-Life Insurance", AM Best states that natural catastrophe risks are gaining relevance due to the laws requiring corporate entities to buy coverage against earthquakes, floods, inundations and landslides that came into force for large enterprises on March 31, 2025. The report also notes that insurers face new challenges stemming from recent regulatory updates regarding bodily injury compensation and non-pecuniary damage, as well as a major revision to introduce a new unified table to standardise parameters and criteria across regions. Nevertheless, AM Best believes that the segment will be able to put in place additional rate increases to mitigate these impacts and maintain its profitability.

Best's Market Segment Report: AM Best Maintains Negative Outlook on Italy's Life Insurance Segment
AMSTERDAM, May 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best is maintaining its negative outlook on Italy's life insurance segment. In its new Best's Market Segment Report, "Market Segment Outlook: Italy Life Insurance", AM Best notes that while it expects premium growth momentum to continue in 2025, insurers in Italy are still facing elevated levels of surrenders which failed to scale down as hoped. These surrenders continue to exert pressure on net flows, especially with regards to capital-light products. The report also states that the Italian life insurance segment continues to exhibit an elevated level of concentration, by players and distribution channels. With roughly half of total life premiums written by three companies and distributed through bancassurance channels, these characteristics act as barriers to entry for new companies and prevent smaller participants from gaining market share.
