Summary

The Dutch insurance sector is undergoing further consolidation, the life sector has been steadily shrinking over the last two decades, and the non-life market is relatively saturated. Sales of new life products, especially individual life business, have decreased since the early 2000s, putting pressure on the business models of life insurers. The non-life market is dominated by compulsory health insurance, which covers medical expenses and has replaced public health insurance in the 1990s. Dutch insurers have also become more domestically oriented–among the large life insurers (or their respective parent groups), those who received government funding during the global financial crisis were required to restructure parts of their business.
