The main business of China reinsurance market is compulsory reinsurance and property reinsurance. China Reinsurance Group is the only reinsurance company to run compulsory reinsurance business, the sole professional reinsurance company, and the largest market provider in China, accounting for more than 90% market shares. In addition, the demand structure of the reinsurance market in China is concentrated; People's Insurance Group, Pacific Insurance Group and Ping'an Insurance Group accumulatively occupy nearly 90% market demand.

In China direct insurance market, either the property insurance market or the life insurance market, the market concentricity is high. The property insurance market mainly concentrates on People's Insurance Group, accounting for 45.7%, Pacific Property Insurance Group, 11.4%, Ping'an Insurance Group with 10.7% and China United Property Insurance Company with 9.4%. These four companies accumulatively account for 77.2% in the property insurance market. The market share of many other insurance companies is less than 1%, so the property insurance market takes on the situation of monopolization. Meanwhile, the life insurance market mainly focuses on China Life Insurance Co., Ltd with 46.2% market shares, ranking the first place, Ping'an Insurance Group with 16.85%, Pacific Property Insurance Group with 9% and Xinhua Insurance Co., Ltd with 6.5%, and the total market share of the top four accounts for 78.6%.

The regional structure distribution of the direct insurance market in China is not concentrated, and the apparent difference exists among east, central and west. Clear ladder distribution is shown from east to west; the ratio of each province in the east is more than 5%, 2-5% for each province of central China, and less than 2% for each province in the west.

China insurance industry will follow the international trend to be on the way of group and large-scale in the future, since from the perspective of international finance industry development, group and large-scale development has been the mainstream. If China insurance companies want to survive and develop in the open international environment, it has to be larger and stronger, so merger and reorganization is a shortcut.
