The Luxembourg reinsurance market remains highly concentrated, with a few key players shaping its structure and dynamics.

Proportional reinsurance is primarily driven by motor vehicle liability and property insurance, reflecting the market’s focus on high-exposure, widely distributed risks. Non-proportional reinsurance, on the other hand, is heavily reliant on property reinsurance, highlighting the growing importance of protection against catastrophic losses.

In the life and health reinsurance segment, life reinsurance continues to hold a dominant share over health reinsurance, reinforcing Luxembourg’s positioning as a hub for long-term risk management solutions.

This distribution underscores the market’s strategic priorities and risk appetite, balancing stability in core sectors with the need for resilience against large-scale events.
