Highlights
As with previous recessions, the most recent downturn appears to have taken its toll on the PMI market. The most recent recession, which began in the second half of 2008, caused a 5% fall in both individual and group subscribers during 2009.
The average premium rates for both group and individual policies continued to grow, by 2.2% and 7.2%, respectively. Rising premium rates have been an important cause for the decline in subscribers in the individual PMI sector in recent years, with potential policyholders put off by these increases.
Average premium rates for both individual and group policies are forecast to continue to rise. This increase will primarily be driven by claims inflation, which means that insurers need to increase their premium rates in order to maintain the same level of margin.
