About this listen

China's insurance market has emerged as the second-largest in the world and is on pace to become the largest worldwide by the 2030s. In the seventh episode of Skadden's yearlong podcast series on global prudential solvency requirements, host Robert Chaplin and Skadden colleague Feargal Ryan explore China's regulatory transformation from a centralized state monopoly to a sophisticated risk-based system. They highlight the establishment of the National Financial Regulatory Administration, the implementation of the China Risk-Oriented Solvency System (C-ROSS) and Shanghai’s recent growth as an international reinsurance hub.

Words of wisdom: “Despite the delayed start, China's insurance market has grown rapidly and is the second-largest insurance market globally in terms of total premium volume following only the United States. It is predicted to become the largest market globally by the mid-2030s. In 2024, China recorded a total insurance premium income of 5.7 trillion Chinese Yuan, equivalent to approximately US$794 billion, which is an 11.15% year-on-year increase. China is home to approximately 10% of the world's global insurance activities. The Chinese market serves as a unique opportunity for foreign insurers, especially considering the size of its population, demographics, and the rapid economic development throughout recent decades.”
