The personal accident and health insurance segment in the Netherlands is dominated by the health insurance category. Driven by reforms in the health care sector in 2006, rising healthcare expenditure and changing regulation, the sector remained immune from global and euro zone economic shocks. Personal accident and health insurers in the Netherlands are continually seeking to gain market share at the expense of their rivals, a tendency that increased following the 2006 health reforms. The Dutch personal accident and health insurance segment is fragmented, with data from the Dutch Insurers Association indicating that 104 personal accident insurance companies and 116 health insurance companies were operating in the country at the end of 2010. This results in a high intensity of rivalry which, in turn, is putting pressure on prices.

  • Following healthcare reform in 2006, everyone in the Netherlands is required to be insured for basic healthcare through a mandatory flat-rate premium and own risk.
