China's solid economic growth, increased government spending, heightened consumer awareness and technological innovations are on track to transform the country into the world’s largest insurance market by 2030, according to industry analysts. It is projected to reach US$2.36 trillion, surpassing the United States.
As China's insurance market continues to expand, innovative insurance products have proliferated. Insurance companies were previously state-owned and with industry reform and more open access, capital from private and foreign companies have continued to flow into the domestic insurance market. Following the establishment of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the market has evolved into a much more regulated environment and the demand for experienced lawyers has increased accordingly.
