Market Overview

The bancassurance market in France refers to the combined sale of insurance products through a bank distribution model, which is extensively used by banks in France. This is using the bank's customers and infrastructure to offer insurance options on life, health, and savings. Additionally, the rapid growth of the aged population alters retirement income planning, while difficulties in the structural funding of public pensions determines the greater need for households to seek to supplement state benefits with private annuities, as well as endowment, and savings products.  Bancassurers create unit-linked and euro-denominated life contracts, providing a degree of 'safety,' with the added benefit of potential investment upside.  These products are often tailored to take advantage of France's favourable tax treatment of life insurance and retirement products. A major French banking and insurance conglomerate, Groupe BPCE reported a 26% increase in earnings for 2024, bringing contributions from almost all retail business lines including insurance, payments, and financial solutions. The attractiveness of tax deferrals, ease of inheritance planning, and the flexibility of payout options create emission from the middle- and upper-income households.  Medical costs continue to rise, including the need for coverage for supplemental medical expenses, while increasingly, bancassurers are including health and critical illness riders attached to savings or long-term savings policies.
