In order to cover these risks, Japanese insurers must use foreign reinsurers. Japan has two domestic reinsurance companies as well as several foreign reinsurer branches. Reinsurance is also underwritten by non-life insurance companies.
Non-life insurance companies in Japan also plays a key role in the global reinsurance market. Japan has one of the world’s most extensive insurance markets. Besides, it is also the world’s fourth-largest property and casualty insurance market, with premiums totaling US $68.8 Bn, thus opening numerous opportunities for reinsurance companies. Besides, the country has also emerged successfully in life insurance sector. In April 2022, Reinsurance Group of America, Inc. announced an agreement to coinsure JPY 160 Bn (US $ 1.2 Bn) in statutory reserves with Taiyo Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of T&D Holdings, Inc. Taiyo Life will continue to service the insurance policies covered by the contract.

“During the projected period, the presence of inflation, uncertain economic environment, and natural disasters can become key drivers in raising the reinsurance market revenue.” comments a Future Market Insights analyst.
The reinsurance market is a financial market where insurance companies transfer some of the risks associated with their policies to other companies in exchange for a fee. Reinsurance is used to reduce the overall risk of an insurance company and to ensure that it has the resources to pay out claims in the event of a catastrophic loss. Reinsurers provide a variety of services, including risk assessment, underwriting, and claims management, and also help insurance companies manage their capital and liquidity. The market is divided into two segments: treaty reinsurance and facultative reinsurance. Treaty reinsurance is a long-term agreement between the reinsurer and the insurance company, whereas facultative reinsurance is a one-time agreement for a specific policy or group of policies.
