ABSTRACT The insurance market has been greatly impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. We employ monthly provincial panel data and fixed-effects models to study how COVID-19 has impacted China’s insurance market. The study finds that the commercial insurance premium income, the monthly year-on-year growth rate of premium, insurance density, and insurance depth have all decreased due to COVID-19. The negative impacts on property and personal insurances are both statistically significant. Raising the level of social security and digital insurance can alleviate the adverse impact of the pandemic on the insurance market.
