Travel Insurance and Assistance in Europe

Travel Insurance and Assistance in Europe investigates the market for stand-alone travel insurance and assistance in 20 European countries, namely, Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the UK and Ukraine.

This market is estimated by Finaccord to have been worth EUR 4.41 billion in premiums and other revenues in 2018 and is growing rapidly in a number of the countries researched. Moreover, the competitive and distribution dynamics of the market continue to evolve with the emergence of new channels and partnerships with major distributors subject to regular change.

The study comprises the following unique features:
 
  • data spanning 2014 to 2018 for the underlying travel market in each country with segmentations by destination (between EU countries, non-EU European countries, North America and the rest of the world) and by type of journey (between holiday and business trips);

  • data for the size of the market for stand-alone travel insurance and assistance in each country between 2014 and 2018 in terms of premiums and policies, with a segmentation not only between single-trip and annual cover but also between holiday and business / corporate cover;

  • analyses of the share of distribution relationships of travel insurance providers split between travel trade, transportation and financial organisations, based on a primary survey of 3,755 actual and potential distributors of stand-alone travel policies including airlines, banks, ferry / railway operators, insurance brands and specialised lenders, plus both traditional and online travel trade entities;

  • a review of other direct and affinity distribution channels used in each country including automotive clubs, direct sales, online aggregators, other online brands and retailers, plus cover packaged with payment cards and bank accounts;

  • estimates for the market share of travel insurance and assistance premiums and other revenues for the top ten underwriters of this type of cover in 2018 in each country and across all 20 countries combined with these data points expressed as a percentage range (e.g. 5.0% to 7.5%);

  • forecasts to 2022 for both the underlying travel market and for the size of the market for stand-alone travel insurance and assistance in each country in terms of premiums and policies, with the same segmentations as those specified above for the period from 2010 to 2014.


The report, which represents an update and expansion to previous Finaccord studies on the subject, is accompanied by an Excel PartnerBASE™ dataset that details the travel insurance partnerships identified, plus a convenient market data annexe, also in Excel format. This annexe can be used as a convenient source of data already in Excel format which means that there is no need for users to re-enter data from the PDF report into their own Excel worksheets.
