Synopsis
The Greek personal accident and health segment accounted for the lowest premium share in the insurance industry in 2013.

Travel insurance accounted for the largest share of the segment with 43.0%, with growth supported by the introduction of low-cost airlines which helped increase outbound tourist volumes. Over the forecast period (2013-2018), the segment's growth is expected to be driven by the travel and health categories.
