Key Highlights
Life insurance is the largest segment in the industry, accounting for 50.9% of the direct written premium in 2014.

Average policy prices fell by around 17% in 2013, and 12% in 2014.

Sales of life products were also affected by low interest rates and poor returns from the capital market.

Poland's aging population drove the life segment during the review period, a trend that is expected to continue over the forecast period.

The Polish life segment recorded a review-period CAGR of -2.5%, and is expected to record a forecast-period CAGR of 2.7%.

New tax regulations on interest earned on savings products also adversely affected insurance sales, as did falling bancassurance sales of single-premium endowment products, due to stringent banking regulations.
