Brunei Insurance Market Trends
Travel insurance and electric vehicle are some of the key trends impacting the Brunei insurance market.
Travel Insurance: With some restrictions, Brunei unlocked its border in September 2022. To protect travelers, rules were introduced for travel in and out of the country, which impacted travel insurance policies. A minimum sum assured of BND50,000 ($37,250) in COVID–19 coverage was made compulsory for travelers. In December 2022, the government revised its guidelines and removed compulsory COVID–19 coverage for travel insurance.
Electric Vehicle: EVs are usually more expensive to insure compared to petrol or diesel car. Insurers must get to grips with EV technology to better understand the nature of their risk and more accurately price premiums. In Brunei, a pilot project was launched in March 2021 to meet the objectives of ‘Strategy 3: Electric Vehicle’ within the framework of the National Climate Change Policy of Brunei Dussalam (BNCCP). However, as of September 2022, the adoption of EVs in the country remained low with only 19 EVs registered.

Brunei Insurance Market by Segments
The key segments in the Brunei insurance market are life insurance and general insurance. The general insurance segment dominated the market in 2022.
General Insurance: It can be further divided into the property, motor, liability, MAT, non-life PA&H, and miscellaneous. Of all the general insurance lines of business, motor insurance recorded the highest share of the total GWP, in 2022. This growth of the motor line of business is driven by motor insurance as the country has incurred a rise in sales of passenger cars that have become the potential base for the rise in motor insurance.
Life Insurance: The growth of this sector can be attributed to the endowment as consumers have reclined towards endowment plans as banks have decreased the deposit interest rates. AIA provides a wide range of customized endowment schemes that gives consumers a more stable return than in deposits. Other sub-segments of the life insurance segment include whole life, term life, life personal accident and health, and other life insurance.
