The insurance sector in the Middle East is going through a huge disruption and stealth growth for the past few years. And when it comes to the UAE, the market houses a wide spectrum of government and non-government insurers including Dubai National Insurance and Reinsurance P.S.C., Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company, Emirates Insurance Company (PSC), Daman Insurance company, Dar Al Takaful among numerous others.
UAE’s insurance sector growth
According to Statista, one of the leading global market research platforms, the growth in UAE’s insurance industry market (life insurance & non-life insurance collectively) is expected to reach $13.2 billion by the end of 2020, to $14.4 billion in 2022, and $15.7 billion by 2024. This clearly states that UAE is affirmable of reaching the likes of insurtech to that of the US and UK.
But that’s not all, UAE also stands tall among other emerging economies of GCC and the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) in terms of digital sales growth at present and in the upcoming years – which is majorly driven by digital insurers or insurtechs. The major reason behind insurtechs dominating the insurance sector is their higher customer experience, personalisation and demand.

Editor’s note
According to a report by KPMG ‘Insurtech 10: Trends for 2019’, 73 percent of the insurance CEOs personally prepare to lead their respective organisations through a radical transformation to remain competitive, in which two of the notable transformational trends are digitisation and expertise-driven workforce.
In accordance with the market analysis, there is no denying to the fact that insurtechs are the present and the future of the insurance sector globally. The traditional methods of insurance buying lack in terms of providing transparency, customised benefits, relaxation on pricing, and many other aspects which keep users uninformed of the crucial aspects of buying an insurance plan and its repercussions. But there come catalysts like BuyAnyInsurance to save the day for anybody looking for transparency, customisation, and relaxation whilst eliminating any money going into the agent’s wallet.
With a warm heart am wishing you successiful achievement.
