Gibraltar's Insurance Sector Growth in 2022 - Highlights

Motor insurance remains the dominant sector with Gibraltar's insurers collectively exceeding a 30% market share of the UK motor insurance market for the first time. This noteworthy accomplishment affirms Gibraltar's position as a leading insurance domicile for motor insurance policies.

Whilst motor insurance remains the major sector, Gibraltar’s insurance industry has in recent years built and consolidated its position in other classes of business and activities. Today, it estimated that Gibraltar pet insurers have a collective share of the UK pet insurance market of circa 20% and Gibraltar travel insurance platforms are used to intermediate more than 30% of all travel insurance policies sold in the UK. This trend signifies the industry's ability to adapt to evolving consumer needs and demonstrates diversity within Gibraltar’s insurance sector .

Furthermore in recent years Gibraltar has attracted re-domiciliation from other jurisdictions. This move demonstrates Gibraltar's appeal as a conducive and supportive environment for insurance companies and startups seeking new growth opportunities.

A new bill later this year is set to pave the way, in response to the industry's request for greater flexibility for captive insurance, for a dual captive regime. This legislative development is a testament to the jurisdiction's commitment to fostering innovation and remaining relevant in a competitive global insurance market.
