Reinsurance Carriers in the US

Over the past five years to 2019, the Reinsurance Carriers industry has grappled with the increasing frequency of natural disasters and significant volatility in financial markets.

Over the five years to 2024, the industry will benefit from capacity growth in direct insurance markets, which will boost demand for reinsurance on these new policies. Global climate change will also push property and casualty insurers to purchase or renew reinsurance to cover large policies in high weather-risk geographical areas.
