Ecuador Insurance Market Trends
Digital nomad visa, digitalization, ESG, and health insurance are some of the key trends impacting the Ecuador insurance market.
Digital Nomad Visa: In July 2022, Ecuador introduced a digital nomad visa in a push to boost the country’s economy by cashing in on the spending of travelers who work remotely. Those applying for the visa are required to have health insurance coverage in Ecuador as one of the requirements for the same period as the validity of their visa. Ecuador has a low cost of living, and the insurance premiums are cheap compared to other countries in the region. This move will have a positive impact on the growth of health insurance in the country.
Digitalization: The insurance sector has evolved with changing times and keeping up the digitalization trend that has been sweeping businesses across the world. After the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, digitalization has been on the forefront of insurance companies in the region.
In June 2022, Chubb launched a service company named Chubb Digital Services (CDS) in the Latin American region. The company provides services to individuals and corporates which complement their insurance offerings through a digital ecosystem. CDS will promote the growth Chubb in different segments, bring in digital customers and further the capabilities of digital distribution channels.

The key segments in the Ecuador insurance market are life insurance and general insurance. The general insurance segment dominated the market in 2022.
General Insurance: It can be further divided into the property, motor, liability, financial lines, MAT, General Insurance PA&H, and Miscellaneous. Of all the general insurance lines of business, the property insurance was the largest general insurance line, in 2022. The growth of property insurance is largely driven by fire and natural hazards insurance. The country lies in an intense seismic activity zone, leading to high-risk events, such as naturally occurring earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and fire. This has increased the uptake of natural hazards insurance.
Life Insurance: Other life insurance plans in Ecuador include individual life and group life plans. Group life plans are usually cheaper than individual life insurance plans and offer better coverage at an affordable premium leading to a higher uptake among small and medium enterprises. Low insurance awareness has limited the growth of the life insurance sector. However, it also provides opportunities through microinsurance and low-cost insurance propositions.
