Insurance Industry: Company Facts, Figures & Analytical Insights

GIA Announces the Release of a Collection of Company Reports Covering 98 Players in the Insurance Industry

GIA has published a series of company reports covering the Insurance Industry. These reports are research derivatives of GIA’s full length multi-client research projects. All key players in this space such as Allianz SE, China Life Insurance Co. Ltd., Prudential Plc, W. R. Berkley Corporation, American National Insurance Co., The Hanover Insurance Group Inc., Meadowbrook Insurance Group Inc., First American Financial Corporation, and Nippon Life Insurance Co., are amongst the 98 companies analyzed.

Insurance is a challenging industry for companies to operate in, with business opportunities closely tied to the health of the financial sector. Although currently showing signs of recovery and stabilization, numerous downside risks continue to overshadow the industry’s outlook. With a major portion of profits for insurance companies coming from investment income rather than underwriting, the 2007-09 recession and the prolonged weakness in recovery have together exerted immense strain on insurance companies and their profitability. Premiums from underwriting activities are being impacted by deteriorating balance sheet performance of the corporate sector; low consumer confidence and reduced per capita spending; unemployment and the ensuing reduction in employee benefit schemes and medical insurance; erosion in personal wealth and reduced funds for investments in life insurance and annuities; and subdued international trade, among others. Negatively impacted, under this background, are premium volumes in commercial and business property insurance, retail insurance, life insurance, and marine hull insurance, among others. Increase in the number of players as a result of low entry barriers coupled with a stagnant business environment make the global insurance industry highly competitive, necessitating companies to continuously monitor competition to uncover hidden patterns and develop personalised solutions to stay ahead in the race.   

The new collection of company intelligencer styled reports offer perspectives on companies, their business lines, products/services, and relevant market shares. The profiles provide facts, figures and analytical insights on all company activities, annual sales and revenue turnover. Each of the reports is informatively annotated with statistical analysis that provides on-the-fly business insights into the global insurance Industry. A general characterisation of the industry is provided for a topical understanding of the macro market environment in which companies operate. The reports capture vital industry data such as insurance market size estimates by type (i.e. accident and health, motor vehicle, household, commercial property, life, agricultural crop, marine etc.) reinsurance market by region and category, insurance ad spending and market share analysis of leading insurance companies in select sectors (i.e. marine, non-life, Life, home insurance, automotive, aircraft etc.) across select regions such as Finland, Italy, Malaysia, Norway, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Singapore, among others.
