The aggregate market capitalisation (McAP) of the top 25 global insurers grew by 2.7% to $2.79trn QoQ during Q4 ended on 31 December 2023, GlobalData has said.
The Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) saw an impressive 27.9% surge in market capitalisation during Q4 2023, and Allstate Corp observed a YoY surge in total revenue during the fiscal Q3 ended on 30 September 2023 to $14.5bn. Simultaneously, its cash balance escalated to $860m, marking a 16.8% increase from $736m reported on 31 December 2022.
Murthy Grandhi, company profiles analyst at GlobalData, concluded: “For Q1 2024, GlobalData foresees the global insurance industry could be choppy with a potential global slowdown and volatile reinsurance costs. Continued demand for life and cyber coverage, China's reopening, and the adoption of insurtech could push the industry forward.
“However, natural disasters, regulatory waves, and the ongoing Red Sea crisis may present unpredictable headwinds. Insurers who adapt, diversify, and manage risks are best positioned to ride the tide towards potential growth in this uncertain quarter.”
