BMI's Executive Summary for the Brazil Insurance Report
[TOP]
This report differs from its predecessors in that it includes BMI's Insurance Business Environment Rating
(IBER). The rating brings together a number of pieces of relevant quantitative data, together with BMI's
Country Risk Rating (CRR). It is now much easier to consider the business environment for the insurance
sector in any one country relative to the business environment for other industries in that country that are
surveyed by BMI, and the business environment for the insurance sector in other countries.
Brazil's IBER is 66.4. This is the highest IBER in the Caribbean and Latin American markets. Within the
region, Brazil stands out for the current size of the non-life segment and the likely absolute growth in
non-life premiums. The same holds true for life-premiums. However, the IBER is held back by the urgent
need for taxation reform, and the real political risks associated with implementing the necessary reform.
Over the forecast period, we anticipate that non-life premiums will grow by 10% annually in local
currency terms and by 12% in US dollar terms. Life premiums are expected to increase by 8% annually in
local currency terms and by 11% in US dollar terms. The key driver of growth is coming from the nonlife
premium. While there will still be a significant increase in life premiums, they are forecast to have a
much lower annual growth rate.
The competitive landscape, in both the non-life and the life segment, is fragmented. Given its size, there
are a very large number of foreign competitors. Brazil has many foreign companies operating in the
market that are not present in other countries in the region, signifying that it is seen as a safer entry option
into the region. It is unclear what business strategy is most likely to be pursued by market competitors.
An attractive option for foreign companies may be to consolidate. Given the number of competitors there
are good acquisition possibilities. Alternatively, niche growth strategies may continue to be pursued. It is
unlikely in BMI's view that we will see many new market entrants.
The strong predicted growth for Brazil and relatively stable political environment continue to make Brazil
an attractive investment option; although there is concern that the Lula government will not be able to
give effect to necessary taxation reform. The non-life insurance market has a strong base and is predicted
to have high levels of growth. This is the main driver of the high IBER score for Brazil, relative to the
other countries surveyed by BMI in the Caribbean and Latin American region.
