Market Update: Insurance Q4 2021
Global M&A activity in the Insurance industry remained strong in Q4 2021 but slightly pulled back from the lightning-fast pace of the first three quarters of the year. The Insurance industry saw over 1,200 M&A transactions in 2021 raising over $160 billion in capital, setting records in terms of both deal volume and capital raised.
M&A activity was fueled this year by a number of factors such as record-low interest rates and the rapid adoption of new business models and technologies in the continued response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Insurance industry was ripe for innovation and disruption, which has allowed InsurTech firms and vendors to command strong interest and valuation multiples in the M&A ecosystem. 2022 shows no signs of slowing down and is expected to be another strong year for all verticals in the industry including InsurTechs, brokerages, agencies, and TPAs.
