Definition:
Life insurance is a type of financial product that provides financial security for individuals and their families. In simple terms, when you buy a life insurance policy, you pay regular premiums to the insurance company. In return, if you were to pass away while the policy is in effect, your designated beneficiaries receive a lump sum payment, known as the death benefit, which can help them cover living expenses and financial needs. Life insurance is designed to provide peace of mind and support for loved ones in the event of the policyholder's death. Gross written premium (GWP) is the main indicator of the insurance market. It is the total amount of money that an insurance company collects from policyholders for their insurance coverage before deducting expenses or commissions.Additional information:
The market contains the following KPIs: gross written premium aggregated for all countries and regions, gross written premium per capita, gross claim payments, loss ratio – calculated as gross claim payments divided by gross written premium, and the share of insureds in the total population for over 50 countries.Notes: Data was converted from local currencies using average exchange rates of the respective year.

Customer preferences in the Netherlands are shifting towards more comprehensive life insurance coverage that offers not only financial protection but also investment opportunities. Customers are increasingly looking for policies that provide long-term value and flexibility to adapt to their changing needs over time. Trends in the market show a rise in demand for digital insurance solutions, with more customers opting to purchase life insurance online.

Local special circumstances in the Netherlands, such as a strong regulatory environment and a high level of financial literacy among the population, have contributed to the growth of the life insurance market. The presence of well-established insurance companies with a reputation for stability and reliability also plays a significant role in shaping customer trust and confidence in the market. Underlying macroeconomic factors, such as low interest rates and an aging population, have influenced the development of the life insurance market in the Netherlands. Low interest rates have led to a greater demand for investment-linked insurance products, as customers seek higher returns on their savings. The aging population has also created a greater awareness of the need for retirement planning and long-term financial security, driving the demand for life insurance products that offer retirement income solutions.
