Fitch Ratings maintained a neutral outlook for the APAC insurance industry in 2026, reflecting robust performance and strong solvency buffers in most markets. Despite regulatory changes, slackening growth, and market volatility, operating margins will remain stable amid improving competitive dynamics, forecast the rating agency. Growth in life and non-life insurance sectors in most markets may slow down. Life insurers will continue to prioritize quality growth and product profitability, while non-life insurers will focus on underwriting discipline and efficiency. Non-life insurers are expected to ride on softer reinsurance pricing, while life insurers will maintain product profitability and adopt dynamic asset-liability management through regulatory transitions and market turmoil. Fitch upheld a deteriorating outlook for the mainland China life insurers and Taiwan life insurers. The mainland China life insurers face slower premium growth due to stricter “expense rationalization” regulations, with earnings more sensitive to stock market volatility.
