Sompo Japan to raise auto insurance premiums by an average of 5% from January next year

It was learned on the 24th that Sompo Japan will raise automobile insurance premiums by an average of about 5% from January 2027. The move responds to rising vehicle repair costs and increasing insurance claims payments due to soaring prices. The company also raised premiums by about 1.8% in July this year, but judged that a further increase is necessary to improve its earnings.

Kumamoto Earthquake Could Push Japan Insurance Claims Past 175 Billion Yen

Bloomberg Intelligence estimates that the magnitude 7.1 earthquake in Kumamoto Prefecture on July 28 could drive claims for Japan's insurance industry above 175 billion yen, or about 1.1 billion US dollars, which is the average damage from six previous major earthquakes. Most of the damage is to commercial properties and homes covered under Japan's earthquake insurance system. The three major private insurers, Tokio Marine Holdings, Sompo Holdings, and MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings, have collectively set aside 365 billion yen to cover natural disaster claims this fiscal year, more than double the total claims of the previous year. However, Bloomberg Intelligence assesses that the impact on the earnings of the three companies will remain limited. After reinsurance and taxes, the claims burden from this event will account for less than 1 percent of the industry's adjusted profit.
