DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jvbxw9/reinsurance_in) has announced the addition of the "Reinsurance in Hong Kong, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2018" report to their offering.

Hong Kong's popularity as a reinsurance hub and anticipated growth of the life, non-life, and personal accident and health insurance segments are expected to drive the growth of Hong Kong reinsurance over the forecast period (2013-2018). Reinsurers operating in Hong Kong generate a considerable proportion of revenue from offshore business. The frequent occurrence of natural disasters in Asia-Pacific forced insurers to cede part of their premium to reinsurers to avoid substantial incurred loss. The premium accepted by the Hong Kong reinsurance segment rose at a review-period (2009-2013) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.3%.
