"Kazakhstan Insurance Report Q2 2015" is now available at Fast Market Research

Kazakhstan's insurance sector is small and is dominated by its non life lines of business. The immaturity of the market is to some extent a reflection of its consumer base, divided between large corporate clients and private individuals who have yet to show an appetite for voluntary products, particularly life insurance. Through the forecast period we do not expect other than modest growth across all insurance segments.

We believe that Life business will continue to show very modest growth through to 2019, but starting from a low base it will continue to be overshadowed by the non-life market. As disposable income rises consumers appear to be more interested in purchasing health insurance than life products and we anticipate that this sub sector will outperform the non life sector as a whole.

Our view is that there will be a significant growth in private car ownership with the passenger car fleet growing rapidly in the latter part of the forecast period. This will ensure that the motor insurance subsector retains its importance to the non life market. USD figures may be affected by exchange rate fluctuations caused by the fall in global oil prices which in themselves will also create concerns about the Khazak economy itself, dependent as it is on hydrocarbons.
