Although the Russian insurance market is fairly underdeveloped and fragmented, it has recorded higher growth rate than the global average. The insurance premium grew at a CAGR of over 22% during 2005-2008, but the global economic slowdown is likely to shrink demand for insurance products in short term. However, the insurance industry has strong potential for medium term growth once income begins to rise, says our new research report, "Russian Insurance Industry Forecast to 2012".

Our research has found that the stable economic environment has been creating demand for insurance products in Russia. Rising real income level is encouraging people to invest in long-term products such as insurance packages, particularly life insurance. Moreover, the Russian insurance market is expected to see significant growth in medium term as the country has low insurance penetration rate as compared to developed economies. 

The Russian government is also supporting the insurance industry by delaying liberalization to allow local companies to strengthen their positions in the life insurance segment, where foreign companies have the greatest advantage in terms of expertise.

However, an expected drop in real income during 2009 followed by slow growth in 2010 will limit the demand for insurance products, which are unlikely to be considered a priority by households in the tough economic climate.

We have also studied various factors fueling growth in the market in our research.
