DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Personal Accident and Health Insurance in Ireland, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017" report to their offering.
Ireland has a booming domestic and international insurance industry comprising life, non-life, reinsurance, captive and intermediary activities. The country acts as a major jurisdiction for domiciling head office insurance companies focusing on the European Economic Area (EEA) markets. Many foreign insurance and reinsurance groups have relocated to Ireland since 2008, including Willis Group Holdings Limited, Beazley Group plc, Zurich and XL Capital Limited.

Key Highlights
- The Irish private health insurance market witnessed a rapid fall in the number of insurance policies sold during the review period (2008-2012). This was largely due to increases in premium costs and the unfavorable economic and business conditions caused by Ireland's sovereign debt crisis.
- Ireland has an attractive taxation policy, which has been a key factor in the emergence of the country as an attractive location for the insurance business. Ireland has a corporation tax rate of 12.5%, which is low compared to that of many other EU member states.
- The life insurance segment accounted for the largest share of 58.9% of the written premium of the overall insurance industry in 2012.
- Insurance brokers accounted for the largest share of 58.9% of personal accident and health insurance written premiums generated through distribution channels in 2012.
