Market Analysis
The insurance market in the Middle East is lagging behind other financial
service sectors in the region, as evidenced by low penetration,
undercapitalized supply and an underdeveloped regulatory framework.
However, the Middle East offers vast opportunities for existing as well as new
players and is expected to grow at the compound rate of 18-20% in near future,
attributed to its highly untapped market, rising awareness level, health
consciousness and initiatives taken by government of respective countries in
the region.
Looking at the country-wise performance, Turkey has written the highest
premium among all the Middle East countries, followed by Israel, Iran and UAE
while Oman remained at the lowest position in past two years (2004 and 2005).
But in terms of growth, UAE took the lead with year on year (YOY) growth rate
of 27.38% in 2006 followed by Turkey at 23.68%.
