Research and Markets: Personal Accident and Health Insurance in Chile - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2018

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6gpmth/personal_accident) has announced the addition of the "Personal Accident and Health Insurance in Chile, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2018" report to their offering.

The personal accident and health insurance segment was one of the fastest-growing in the Chilean insurance industry during the review period (2009-2013). The segment primarily benefited from the country's increasing healthcare cost, compulsory personal accident insurance, compulsory minimum health insurance contributions and growth within the travel and tourism sector.

The leading insurers in the segment included MetLife Chile, EuroAmerica and BICE Vida. The segment's healthy review-period growth is expected to encourage several international companies to enter the segment, making it more competitive over the forecast period (2013-2018). Moreover, government efforts to build a regulatory framework for private health insurers, along with country's regulatory reforms in line with Europe's solvency regulations, are projected to support Chilean personal accident and health insurers to build high levels of consumer confidence.
