Global Direct General Insurance Carriers - Industry Market Research Report

Global Direct General Insurance Carriers

Over the five years to 2017, the Global Direct General Insurance Carriers industry has performed well, despite continuously mounting challenges including a softening insurance market, low interest rates and numerous catastrophic disasters. Strong demand from emerging markets has bolstered insurance premiums. Consequently, industry revenue is forecast to increase over the five years to 2017. Over the five years to 2022, industry revenue is forecast to increase at a slightly faster rate than during the previous period as emerging markets' demand for insurance products is expected to continue to grow.

Businesses in this industry initially underwrite insurance policies relating to property, casualty, liability and other general risks. In underwriting insurance policies, general insurers earn premiums that they then invest to generate additional income. The underwriting of life, disability, health and medical insurance represents a separate industry, although many businesses compete in both insurance markets.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
