Summary

The UK is both a very large domestic market and also a key player in the world insurance market, especially via Lloyds. In non-life the UK is the world's third largest market, behind only the US and Germany. It is also the third largest life market, behind only the US and Japan.

Even though the UK is a mature and fully developed market experiencing only modest growth rates, its size means that even small percentage gains represent large premium volumes. In non-life, for instance, the market is expected to grow at an average 5% a year through the 2007-2012 forecast period. This will produce premium growth of GBP15.8bn, which is larger than the total size of most national markets.

The life segment is expected to grow a little more slowly at just 3% a year over the forecast period.

However, the life segment is somewhat larger than the non-life segment, buoyed by its role as the key player in the long-term and retirement savings market.
