From a report by Fitch Ratings Central America:

Industry Concentrated by Market Players : The Honduran insurance sector is made up of 12 competitors. In 2016, the three main companies accounted for 62% of total premium production and about 50% of the system's assets. Two of these belong to financial groups and benefit from the related banking channel and businesses referred by them to achieve greater penetration within the market. The entry of two new competitors, subsidiaries of regional groups, could favor the creation of a new market and the development of more products. Fitch Ratings does not expect changes in the concentration of the main players in the market.  

Growth Driven by Life Business and Investment in Construction:   In 2016, the growth of the sector was sustained mainly in the life and health business (55% of the total subscribed). In 2017, Fitch expects this trend to continue because of the interest in securing collective life portfolios. It believes that growth could also stem from increased production in general damage insurance, considering that construction will be the economic activity that will support the growth of gross domestic product in 2017, according to data from the Central Bank of Honduras (BCH).
