Finland, the seventh largest country in Europe, has a mature and sophisticated P&C market, with statutory insurances important in both the life/pensions and non-life insurance markets. In the latter, motor third party liability (MTPL) and workers' compensation account for a substantial part of the market.

In 2020, there were 34 non-life insurers, including 21 members of the LahiTapiola group and five local fishing vessel mutuals; there were also nine branch offices of foreign non-life insurance companies. Market share is, however, concentrated in a few insurance groups. There were 10 life companies under local supervision, of which one was running-off.

The Finnish insurance market uses a variety of distribution methods, and there has been steady evolution in the introduction of new sales channels in the last two decades and more.
