Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/16/2012 -- The Japanese non-life insurance segment is broadly divided into four categories: general third-party, motor property, marine and aviation, and transit. The segment is the second-largest segment in the Japanese insurance industry following life insurance. In a highly regulated market such as Japan, insurers are required to file and seek regulatory approval for their products from the FSA. The segment is large and complex with the three-leading firms, MS&AD Group, the NKSJ Group and the Tokio Marine Group, accounting for 90% share of the overall segment.
