It provides a detailed analysis of the reinsurance ceded from various direct insurance markets in the UK and its growth prospects

1. Reinsurance in the UK, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2016
During the review period, premium ceded to reinsurance by UK direct insurers grew, with
the exception of a noticeable decline in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis.
Following European financial liberalization, the UK insurance industry was opened up to
international reinsurers and brokers. The UK reinsurance segment is dominated by domestic
reinsurers, as well as reinsurers from other European countries such as Germany. Due to
the impact of the global financial crisis, the European debt crisis and severe flooding in
2010–2011, renewal prices increased in the UK reinsurance segment. Previously, during
2009–2010, UK reinsurance brokers experienced increased demand from credit insurers
keen to minimize their risk by sharing it with a reinsurer. Furthermore, with the forthcoming
introduction of the Solvency II directive, many insurers are also expected to be dependent
on reinsurers in order to ensure better risk management and retain their market positions.
