Pension Opportunities in Europe
Datamonitor, Aug 2004, Pages: 139
At a time when the looming pensions crisis is causing unprecedented change this report analyses the market for pensions in Europe, and sizes the assets held in pensions in each of the three pillars. It then forecasts the growth of these assets, and highlights which countries offer the most attractive opportunities to competitors going forward.The most important driver of change in the European pensions market is the 'dependency crisis'.
This process is driving a change not only in the overall level of pension funding, but equally importantly a major change in the balance between the three pillars of provision: 1st pillar (state), 2nd pillar (occupational) and 3rd pillar (individual) pensions. This has the potential to create massive opportunities for private pensions providers in Europe. Identifying where these opportunities lie and reacting to them early will be the key to success for competitors in this market.
Key findings and highlights
- The pensions market in Europe is at a point of unprecedented change, primarily due to aging populations. The result will create exciting new opportunities for competitors. Winners will be those that react to these changes fastest and this report will help them to do this.
- The UK is by far the largest private pensions market in Western Europe by assets. The next biggest markets are the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland where occupation pension schemes cover nearly the whole workforce. All other European countries have smaller private pensions markets.
- The Italian pension market will offer the strongest growth levels in Europe 2003-2008, however it is the German market with its combination of size and strong growth that is likely to be most attractive to competitors.
