2025: Global Mergers & Acquisitions in the Insurance Industry 2024



Price : $2,750.00



Conning’s latest strategic study examines global insurance M&A activity through 2024, offering detailed insight into trends across underwriting, distribution, and services. While overall deal volume declined from the previous year, total announced value rose, fueled by several high-profile transactions that reshaped parts of the industry. Activity remained strongest in the U.S., with large strategic and private equity-backed deals driving value despite persistent macroeconomic headwinds.

The property-casualty and life-annuity sectors saw fewer deals year over year, but several notable transactions boosted aggregate values. Health insurance M&A slowed considerably, while distribution activity dropped to multi-year lows in volume yet achieved record deal value, led by a few transformative transactions. Services-related activity, in contrast, increased meaningfully as insurers continue to build out operational capabilities.

Looking ahead, a more favorable political backdrop, paired with evolving capital structures like sidecars and growing digital ambitions, could reinvigorate dealmaking in 2025.

This study helps insurance executives, investors, and advisors assess shifting M&A dynamics and market signals across sectors. It’s an essential tool for those seeking to benchmark strategic moves, uncover growth opportunities, and stay competitive in a consolidating insurance landscape—without relying solely on backward-looking data.
