Die österreichische Privatversicherungswirtschaft setzte 2019 mit einer leichten Zunahme der Bruttoprämieneinnahmen (+1,6%) den Kurs des Vorjahres fort. Getragen wurde diese Entwicklung von der Dynamik in der Kranken- (+4,9%) und in der Schaden-Unfallversicherung (+2,9%), während die Einnahmen in der Lebensversicherung weiterhin schrumpften (–2,2%). Der österreichische Versicherungsmarkt folgte der allgemeinen Dynamik im Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum. 2020 und 2021 wird das reale Prämienwachstum in der Lebensversicherung durch die COVID-19-Krise um etwa 4 Prozentpunkte und in der Nicht-Lebensversicherung um 1 Prozentpunkt gedämpft.

Robust Growth in Non-life Insurance Secures 2019 Premium Growth in Private Insurance
In 2019, the Austrian private insurance industry continued the previous year's development with a moderate increase in gross premium income (+1.6 percent). This development was driven by a dynamic expansion in health (+4.9 percent) and property-casualty insurance (+2.9 percent), while revenues in life insurance were lower by 2.2 percent. The Austrian insurance market followed the general dynamics in the European Economic Area. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, forecasts for real premium growth in life insurance will be revised downwards for 2020 and 2021 by around 4 percentage points, and by 1 percentage point in non-life insurance.
