Risk Management sector overview
The insurance sector is currently faced with a hitherto unknown change it has had to face in order to survive. Strong pricing and competitive pressures, changing consumer behaviour, technological advances and the ease of financing business ventures that address new needs are changing the competitive environment in the sector.
These changes in the competitive environment are also leading to increased activity in the insurance industry and the appearance on the scene of new players such as Insurtech, which are forcing the sector's conventional agents to reinvent themselves. Although technology has become a key element in the new customer relationship models, it will be the strategy that determines success in the digital transformation.
All this greatly affects both the industry's own activity and its attractiveness for investment, which is no stranger to these changes.
Within the Risk Management segment, we have identified 1,040 companies, of which 300 (29%) have raised investment in one of the 814 rounds that have been held in the sector. In terms of acquisitions21% of these companies have been acquired at some time (221 companies in total), and almost 12% of them (123 companies) have made an acquisition. In addition, 4.5% of the companies in the sector are listed on a stock exchange.
Following our sectoral analysis of the Risk Management segment, we have also detected the existence of 8 main sub-segments, among which "Risk", with 261 companies, is the most competitive, followed by "Software" (141 companies) and "Services" (140 companies).
On the other hand, from a geographical point of view, the US is the country that hosts the most Risk Management companies, with 556 companies within its borders. Far behind is the UK with 102 Risk Management companies. The rest of the countries lag far behind in this respect, with Spain not even appearing in the top 10.
