The Insurance Industry in Qatar, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017, New Report Launched

The Qatari insurance industry grew at a CAGR of 1.0% during the review period (2008–2012), due to weak demand for personal accident and health insurance and the emergence of takaful insurance. However, the industry is expected to register faster growth at a CAGR of 6.7% over the forecast period (2012–2017). Growth will be driven by projected infrastructure spending ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup and investment in non-oil sectors. Growth in the industry can be attributed to factors like the rise in the expatriate population, regulatory changes and the country’s economic strength. The size of the Qatari insurance industry is comparatively smaller than other countries in the Gulf region; the industry’s penetration stood at 0.4% in 2012, significantly lower than the global average of 6.7%. This provides an opportunity for existing and new entrants to scale-up their businesses in the uninsured Qatari insurance industry.
