Key Highlights
• The regulatory changes in the reinsurance segment expose new challenges and opportunities in
terms of competitive differentiation. Consolidation among Canada’s non-life insurers due to an
expected increase in demutualization of property and casualty companies will influence ceded
premiums and retention levels.
• The growth of reinsurance in Canada was volatile during the review period, as the percentage of
insurance premiums ceded to reinsurance varied each year, affected by demand trends in primary
insurance.
• The Canadian reinsurance segment is dominated by large global reinsurance groups through
branches or subsidiaries in Canada.
• In 2011, catastrophic losses dominated the reinsurance market in Canada and around the world.
• Consolidation in the primary insurance market, especially in the fragmented non-life segment, is
taking place with Intact’s purchase of AXA’s Canadian division and RSA Canada’s purchase of
GCAN Insurance in 2011.
