India´s non-life insurance market outlook remains negative - AM Best
KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 (Bernama) -- AM Best, a global rating agency and information provider focusing on the insurance industry has maintained negative market segment outlook on India’s non-life insurance market.
This is due to continued reliance on realised and unrealised investment gains to offset technical losses; potential short-term disruption from regulatory enhancements; and persistently competitive and underperforming core business lines of motor and agriculture.
In the new Best’s Market Segment Report, ‘Market Segment Outlook: India Non-Life Insurance’, insurers have been one of the main beneficiaries of the country’s fast-growing economy, and the industry has seen a substantial increase in insurable risks.
Although insurers have strengthened reserves in recent years, concerns on the prudency and potential for tail development remain, given that some claims may get caught up in India’s slow-moving court system.
Unfavourable reserve adjustments have the potential to significantly impact current performance and capital even more so, given the lack of profitability in many other lines, according to a statement.
Despite the negative outlook, AM Best recognised that some non-life insurers still may experience growth. The profitability and capital strength of companies that demonstrate sound risk management practices and disciplined underwriting are likely to improve steadily.

“This fundraising is a new step in our development: we plan to drive a pilot in real condition and accelerate our commercial launch at the end of 2019, explains Etienne de Verdelhan, co-founder & CEO of airfree. We are proud to welcome Shiseido, a key player in travel retail innovation, Starburst, which welcomed us in their acceleration program since the end of 2018, and our business angels, who have renewed their confidence since 2017”.
Towards commercial launch
During the first half of 2019, airfree was selected to participate in the Singapore Airlines' Accelerator Program - a selective program (only 5 startups chosen) dedicated to new solutions that digitalise Singapore Airlines's business operations. In partnership with Inflight Connectivity Suppliers, airfree conducted technical tests (POC) which showed that the airfree platform uses on average 50 times less satellite bandwidth than with a traditional e-commerce website. This performance is made possible by downloading data before takeoff, and thus using a limited online connection onboard (during the checkout process). For airlines, it means controlled bandwidth costs, and for passengers a premium experience with a quality connection & fast browsing.
About airfree, Marketplace of the Sky :
Created in 2016 by three co-founders specialized respectively in duty-free commerce, technology, digital and e-commerce. The team now consists of about ten people, including a team of developers. Their goal is to become the world's leading airline marketplace. www.airfree.aero

Invivoscribe adds test menu at international clinical laboratories
KUALA LUMPUR, May 23 (Bernama) -- Invivoscribe Inc, a privately held biotechnology company, has expanded space and testing capabilities in its international network of accredited LabPMM® clinical laboratories.
Additions to the test menu will include morphology, IHC, flow cytometry, as well as the latest multiparameter flow- (MPF) and NGS-based minimal residual disease (MRD) testing of primary specimens.

They will be available by year-end in San Diego, followed by the clinical laboratories in Japan, Germany and China.

AM Best´s report expects captive domicile growth in Asia-Pacific
KUALA LUMPUR, May 17 (Bernama) -- AM Best in its new report expects to see significant growth of captive formations in Asia-Pacific (APAC) domiciles as economies grow and businesses seek new and more sophisticated ways of risk management and control.
In the Best’s Market Segment Report, ‘Asia-Pacific Captive Domiciles Poised for Growth’, AM Best looked at the state of APAC captive domiciles and reported that captive insurer growth to date had remained relatively slow, mainly due to the persistently competitive insurance market.
With abundant capacity available at cheaper costs, the benefits of establishing a captive may not seem particularly attractive. A lack of knowledge and understanding of captive insurance also pervades the APAC region.
However, businesses have expanded their use of captive insurance past providing cover for traditional property and liability risks into non-traditional classes of risk, such as cyber and trade credit.
The report stated that as Asia’s economies rose in prominence, fuelled by the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises, captive domiciles in APAC would thrive.
Singapore, Labuan and the Federated States of Micronesia stand out as established captive domiciles while China and Hong Kong, emerging as regulators have been keen to develop captive insurance in their jurisdictions.

MENICON ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF MENICON BLOOM MYOPIA CONTROL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
NAGOYA, Japan, May 24, 2019 /Kyodo JBN- AsiaNet/ --
- Launch Features Initial Introduction of Menicon Bloom Night, First and Only CE-approved Orthokeratology Contact Lens in Europe for Myopia Control -
Menicon Co., Ltd. announced on May 24 the launch of the Menicon Bloom Myopia Control Management System, a holistic approach for myopia control management. The launch features the initial introduction of Menicon Bloom Night, an orthokeratology contact lens therapy for myopia control management.
(Logo: https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/img/201905216625-O1-4k0Q106r)
Myopia, also known as near- or short-sightedness, is the most common refractive error and the major cause of vision impairment worldwide. It affects approximately 30% of the world's population and its prevalence has been forecast to affect about 50% of the world's population by 2050. The prevalence of myopia in young adolescents has been increasing in recent decades to about 30% in industrialized societies of the West and epidemic levels of over 90% in some parts of Far East Asia. Globally, it is recognized as a significant public health concern associated with increased ocular-related morbidity and considerable healthcare costs.
Menicon Bloom Night therapy involves the overnight wear of a specially designed reverse geometry orthokeratology contact lens, manufactured in hyper oxygen-permeable Menicon Z rigid material that ensures optimal corneal oxygenation for comfortable and safe contact lens wear. The treatment temporarily changes the shape of the cornea, which results in reduction of refractive error, thus eliminating the need to wear contact lenses throughout the waking hours after lenses are removed. The new corneal shape provides a particular optical path for incoming light that counters the ocular growth response associated with myopia development. Through this mechanism, Menicon Bloom Night is indicated for the correction of refractive myopia and for control of myopia when prescribed and managed by a qualified eye care professional.
Menicon Bloom Night contact lenses have been reviewed and validated via numerous comprehensive, peer-reviewed studies related to myopia control management. Menicon Bloom Night therapy has proven to be well accepted by parents and to improve children's self-esteem in terms of physical appearance, participation in activities, academic performance and peer perception. With the accumulation of long-term and comprehensive scientific evidence over the years, Menicon Bloom Night has met the highest standards of safety, efficacy and quality required to grant the treatment CE approval for myopia control management in Europe.
The fitting of Menicon Bloom Night is optimized by the use of Easyfit software, a sophisticated, user-friendly tool which accurately guides the eye care professional through the fitting process. Additionally, a specially designed mobile phone application, Menicon's Virtual Dr., has been developed to enhance the monitoring and communication process between eye care professionals and patients. Menicon Bloom Night is only available for certified eye care professionals. With the launch of this groundbreaking myopia care therapy, Menicon has become one of the few companies to have devices officially approved for myopia control management in Europe and demonstrates the company's continued commitment to the field of myopia control.
