MEXICO CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#insurance<\/a>--AM Best<\/b> is maintaining its stable outlook on Costa Rica\u2019s insurance industry due to steady premium growth and a stable regulatory environment.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nAccording to the new Best\u2019s Market Segment Report<\/i>, \u201cMarket Segment Outlook: Costa Rica Insurance,\u201d Costa Rica\u2019s insurance market premium grew by nearly 4% year over year in 2025, due primarily to a 7% increase in mandatory insurance and a 3% increase in voluntary insurance. Despite increased claims volume, the overall period result for the market was positive, with no insurers reporting a net loss. Economic growth in the country is stable, although the conflict in the Middle East could place upward pressure on commodity prices and lead to higher inflationary pressures.<\/p>

\nCosta Rica boasts a well-established regulatory framework for insurance since it the market was opened for companies other than Instituto Nacional de Seguros (INS), which holds 62% of market share in the market, to write mandatory auto and occupational injury coverages. Despite growing competition, pricing remains relatively stable. Climate-related risks are significant and catastrophe events, including Tropical Storm Nate in 2017, prompted product refinements. The country\u2019s first parametric insurance policy was launched in May 2026.<\/p>

\n\u201cDemand for property and health insurance has grown steadily, driven by a rising middle class and foreign investment in tourism and real estate,\u201d said Olga Rubo, associate director, AM Best. \u201cHowever, many small businesses and households still forgo coverage due to affordability perceptions and trust in INS as a quasi-public institution.\u201d<\/p>
