Among the drivers of economic growth and development in emerging countries, insurance is often overlooked in favor of flashier sectors like technology or infrastructure. Although, insurance is a behind-the-scenes factor driving growth at all levels of society, from family life to massive infrastructure projects to technology development expanding Africa’s lucrative insurance market is the key to creating inclusive prosperity in the region.
Notably, increased penetration rates for insurance throughout African markets are directly connected to Africa’s overall development. Indeed, as multiple studies have identified insurance premium thresholds associated with positive economic growth in Africa.
Despite its advantages, Africa’s aggregate insurance penetration rate remains extremely low as compared to the global average insurance penetration rate. With increased entry, participation, and expansion from traditional insurance companies, new microinsurance companies as well as reinsurance companies, the potential for growth across the continent is immense. Recent disruptive events—including an increasing number of natural disasters, political upheavals, and economic disruptions from current and future pandemics—will continue to increase demand and foster rapid growth throughout this sector.
Africa’s underdeveloped insurance market represents an opportunity both for players in the insurance sector and for African societies in general. The first credible and convenient insurance providers will reap enormous rewards as this sector develops—becoming pioneers in the region. Moreover, African households and businesses can benefit from the reduced risks and increased stability that insurance products can provide.

At the core of our business, lies the unrelenting drive to cater to the the African market which remains underserved and to be a part of the growth story of Africa.
