Insurance Brokerage Market Analysis 

Reinsurance is referred to as insurance for insurance companies. It is a contract between a reinsurer and an insurer. Reinsurance helps insurers stay in business by recouping all or part of the money they have paid to claimants. Reinsurance lowers the net liability for specific risks and provides disaster protection against significant or numerous losses. Insurers buy reinsurance for four reasons: to boost capacity, to stabilize loss experience, to protect themselves and the insured against disasters, and to limit liability on a particular risk. Reinsurance increases the insurer's capacity to bear the financial burden in the event of uncommon, significant events by protecting it from accumulated liabilities. This provides the insurer with more assurance of its equity and solvency. In order to maintain the solvency margins, insurers can underwrite policies that cover a greater amount of risk without unnecessarily increasing administrative expenses by the use of reinsurance. Furthermore, reinsurance provides insurers with significant liquid assets in the event of extraordinary losses.

Globalization has evolved in recent decades as a result of the expansion of commercial and financial networks that cross national borders, making businesses and workers from other economies increasingly interconnected.

Moreover, industrialization also facilitates increased investments, cross-broader collaborations, partnerships and joint ventures, facilitating the insurance brokerage market growth.
