The Top 10 Global Insurance Companies: Increasing profitability, market share and competitive edge
|
Description: |
Last year, after two years of worldwide recession the insurance market finally showed signs of recovery. However, increased competition from new entrants combined with a lack of consumer confidence still create a difficult environment in which to either acquire or retain customers.
The Top 10 Global Insurance Companies: Increasing profitability, market share and competitive edge provides an overview of the global insurance market, including statistics on both life and non life insurance. Uniquely, this report not only details the global insurance market but also analyses the key issue of bancassurance. Ten extensive profiles of global insurers are included, examining the reasons behind each organisation’s growth, their potential weaknesses and defining the threats that could affect their global position in the future.
Find new ways to gain profit using this report's analysis of key market trends and the strategies of the world's most successful insurers.
"Last year saw a further decrease in life insurance premium income, in many countries including the UK. This trend is because of the recession and persistent low interest rates, resulting in life insurers offering lower returns..."
Examining the Key Issues
- Bancassurance - identify the most effective models using this report’s examination of penetration levels and profiles of major European bancassurers including Lloyds TSB, Allianz, Banca Unicredito and Caj Madrid.
- New European regulations - predict their effects by reading this reports explanation of the impact of changes to regulations including depolarization in the UK and pension reform in Germany.
- Global stock-market decline - discover the strategies global insurers are implementing to compensate for the resulting reduction premium revenues and sluggish growth.
- Mergers and Acquisitions - they may offer access to new market segments, new products and new customers, but find out the real costs and benefits of mergers including that of Allianz and Dresdner in this report’s analysis of merger activity.
"The most successful bancassurance market in Europe is Spain, where banks dominate the market with 77% market share. Prior to 1992, banks were not allowed to distribute life assurance products. Spanish banks own seven of the top 10 life assurance competitors..."
"Japan is an over-insured market. Three of the top 10 Japanese insurers, Mitsui Life, Sumitomo Life, and Asahi Life, have been marked with non-investment grade ratings..."

- What is the most effective method of life insurance distribution through bancassurance in each of the major European markets?
- What are the key characteristics of the world's most successful insurers?
- How and why are so many insurers seeking to enter new markets?

Key findings from this report
- Growth rates in the global insurance industry are recovering after two years of global recession. To limit exposure to the stock-market insurers are trying to diversify their portfolios into less risky products including bonds.
- Insurers are expanding their product offerings and making their services more customer friendly in search of higher profitability.
- Non-life insurance growth is being driven by renewed premium rate increases rather than new business, as new non-financial entrants create competition.
- Unit linked insurance real growth was negative in France, Spain and the UK as customers were reluctant to buy products directly linked to the stock-market.
- Developing markets in Asia are now an increasingly attractive market for insurers, especially China, because of its strong growth and low insurance market penetration.
"Almost all of the global insurers are trying to win a share of the precious, fast growing Chinese market, forecasted by FT World Insurance to be $33.82 billion by 2005..."
