Key Highlights

• Personal accident and health was the smallest segment in the Qatari insurance industry, accounting for 8.0% of the industry's gross written premium in 2014.

• Health insurance is compulsory in Qatar. The entire population is expected to be covered by health insurance by the end of 2016, providing the category with strong growth avenues, supported by lifestyle changes. 

• Personal accident and health insurance penetration was lower in Qatar than in other GCC countries such as the UAE (0.71%) and Saudi Arabia (0.56%). 

• The presence of takaful insurance in a Muslim-dominated population is a key challenge for conventional insurance. Conventional insurance products are incompatible with Sharia law, and as more than 75% of Qatar's population is Muslim, the growth of takaful insurance is therefore expected to continue over the forecast period. 

• The Qatari personal accident and health insurance segment has growth potential and will be driven by favorable demographic factors such as rise in the working population and life expectancy.
