Key Highlights
After reaching its peak in 2011, the household insurance market registered a fourth consecutive decline in 2015.
Due to a weak housing market causing a softening of demand and fierce competition among insurers, the UK experienced downward premium pricing pressure during the review period.
Despite a weak economy and high flood-damage claims, household insurance remained profitable during the review period (2011-2015).
Underpinned by favorable economic and demographic factors, positive housing market trends and an increase in mortgage lending, the household insurance market is expected to post a forecast-period CAGR of 0.8%.
