World Insurance Companies

The top insurance companies of the world make up a major part of the financial

services worldwide, and a huge part of insurance worldwide. Adoption of financial market reforms by almost all the countries worldwide has given birth to a more competitive environment in this sector than in the past.

Despite the financial shakeout which began in September 2008, insurance companies are still forging ahead. While many people have lost their homes and jobs, insurance is one product many people cannot live without. Whether by law or by necessity, people still have car, health, life and other types of insurance in effect. Most of the top insurance companies of the world remain financially robust, with some exceptions.

Furthermore, with more people owning vehicles, homes, and more people earning greater amounts worldwide, the need to have them insured has emerged, creating an entirely new segment for the top insurance companies of the world. This is particularly true in emerging markets such as India and China where this phenomenal growth has occurred.
