Key Highlights
 The Bruneian insurance industry is small and overcrowded, despite a number of companies leaving the industry in recent years
Low awareness levels among Bruneians regarding insurance are a major hindrance to growth for the Bruneian insurance industry
The life insurance segment accounted for a share of 51.7% of the total Bruneian insurance gross written premium value in 2013
Takaful insurance has a strong presence in the insurance industry, particularly in motor insurance. Conventional insurance is increasingly losing ground to takaful, particularly in the non-life segment
Despite being listed as a developed country, Brunei's insurance penetration was just 0.64% in 2013, far lower than other developed countries such as Singapore, which had an insurance penetration of 7.7% in 2012
The low insurance penetration in Brunei reflects a large untapped market, reflecting the insurance industry's immense growth potential
