The insurance industry is cooling from exceptional growth, not slowing into weakness. Global premiums rose by +7.1% to EUR6.9trn in 2025, adding EUR456bn to the global premium pool. Although growth moderated from the exceptional +9.4% recorded in 2024, it remained comfortably above the ten-year CAGR of +5.6%, confirming that the industry’s growth drivers remain firmly intact. Life insurance remained the largest segment (EUR2,861bn; +EUR185bn in 2025), followed by P&C (EUR2,320bn; +EUR85bn) and health (EUR1,688bn; +EUR185bn).
The global numbers, however, conceal the developments at the national level – which can be quite different from global trends.
