Historically, Austria has been one of Europe's more conservative markets and, to a large extent, this remains with insurers and insureds slower to embrace new sales channels and insurance-related technologies. The Austrian insurance market has long been deregulated and its insurers are in private ownership.
According to figures from the Financial Market Authority (FMA), in 2019 the Austrian non-life insurance market (including healthcare) produced gross written premiums of EUR 12.14bn, an increase of about 4% over the previous year.
The Austrian market has long been dominated by composite insurers, active in both life and non-life insurance; 30 insurers were active in non-life insurance in 2019. Of the 49 small mutuals, around two-thirds were fire insurers with the others livestock insurers.
