Technavio recently released a report on the global health insurance market from 2016 to 2020. Here's what you need to know.
1. The top five global health insurance vendors are: Zurich Insurance Group, United Healthcare Aviva, AXA and Allianz.
Other prominent vendors include: Aetna, AIA Insurance Group, Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Kaiser Foundation.
2. Low insurance rates are helping insurance companies to negotiate debt financing deals which is accounting for an influx in private equity. However, that private equity is not expected to remain in the market long term because of a lack of long term returns.
3. Insurance companies are expanding globally in an attempt to capitalize on economic growth factors. That expansion helps the industry diversify risk and improve company valuations.
4. Insurers are targeting developing markets as a way to increase financial productivity.
