APAC reinsurance market sees stable pricing in 2024

Although, extreme weather and NatCats could disrupt current pricing stability.

Asia Pacific’s (APAC) reinsurance market is experiencing stable pricing in 2024, a shift from the hard market conditions of 2023, which were driven by rising interest rates and stricter renewal terms, according to Fitch Ratings

The market's stability is supported by adequate capacity, but the increasing appetite for catastrophe risks, aided by an orderly retrocession market, may heighten reinsurers' exposure to potential losses. 

Despite this, reinsurers are expected to maintain profitability through selective risk management and disciplined pricing in the face of growing competition, regulatory changes, climate challenges, and economic risks.

APAC remains particularly vulnerable to natural disasters, and the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events linked to climate change are expected to increase reinsurance claims. 

Fitch anticipates that this could disrupt the current pricing stability, with reinsurers likely to adopt a cautious stance, enforcing stricter limits and maintaining strong underwriting practices to manage natural catastrophe risks.

Reinsurers across key markets, including Japan, South Korea, China, and Hong Kong, continue to show solid capital alignment with their business profiles, benefiting from increased shareholders' equity through retained earnings. 

The implementation of IFRS 17 in these markets has resulted in stable to improved returns on equity, supported by better underwriting performance and investment gains.

Fitch also notes the growing interest in insurance-linked securities (ILS) in Asia, with Hong Kong emerging as a key hub. 

Whilst this development is expected to contribute to market growth and stability, further advancements and increased participation from Asian investors will be crucial for the ILS market to reach its full potential.
