United States Insurance Report Q2 2015 - New Market Research Report

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Thu Apr 02 2015


We have a positive outlook for the US' overall insurance sector over the 2015-2019 period , and confirm steady growth in both the life and non-life segments. Consistently accounting for roughly 60% of the total premiums written, non-life insurance is set to drive the predominant share of the sector's overall growth, and will also slightly outpace the life segment.
