DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c6fc14af/united_states_insu) has announced the addition of the "United States Insurance Report Q2 2012" report to their offering.
Business Monitor International's United States Insurance Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, insurance associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on United States's insurance industry.
As of February 2012, the major US insurers have yet to report formally on their performance during calendar 2011. When they do so, their comments will likely have an upbeat tone. Both the non-life and the life segments have responded well to enormous challenges over the last 12 months. There are several reasons to believe that the overall profitability of the world's largest national insurance market will improve significantly.
For property/casualty insurers, a sub-set of what we define as the non-life segment (because we include the accident/health business that is handled by the life companies), the major challenge over the last year has been a wave of insured losses arising from natural catastrophes in the US and elsewhere.
For the largest life companies, demand for annuities continues to grow apace: many of the leading providers of annuities reported double-digit growth in sales in Q311 relative to Q310: it appears that US savers and investors see annuities as a particularly attractive vehicle for their savings at a time of financial market volatility, continuing a glut of real estate and rock bottom interest rates. Particular companies argue that they are benefiting from a flight to quality.' Others note that sales of particular savings and wealth management products (ie: not necessarily annuities) are growing very quickly.
