Natural disasters are a major driver of insurance growth in China. They cause significant economic losses, particularly affecting agriculture, transportation, and manufacturing. Chinese companies can access compensation for disaster losses mainly through commercial property insurance policies. The government is promoting the development of catastrophe insurance to better support disaster recovery. Key products include company property insurance, agricultural insurance, and insurance policies tailored for high-risk industries. However, overall insurance penetration for natural disaster risks remains relatively low in China.
