London, UK (PRWEB) September 05, 2013 -- During 2007-2012, gross written premiums in the UK whole life insurance sector decreased by over 55%, although resumed 8% growth in 2012. In the same year, whole life insurance density also fell sharply and totalled a value of GBP 384, whilst the whole insurance penetration represented 1.6% of the UK’s GDP. Unit-linked products make up the dominant market segment. Insurance brokers form the major channel for distribution of life insurance products in the country.

The demand for whole life insurance products is forecast to witness upward trend, driven by steady economic recovery, rising disposable incomes and increasing life expectancy. However, continued macroeconomic uncertainty is likely to constrain growth in the category and life insurers will face competition from the banking and wealth management sector offering savings and investment alternatives. Premiums in the UK whole life insurance industry are likely to grow at a CAGR of only 3.5% from 2013 to 2017. Prolonged low interest rates and regulatory changes will also affect new business volumes in the segment.
