Consolidation in the Global Insurance Brokerage Market: How to Create Value Executing a Consolidation Strategy

Introduction

The global insurance brokerage sector is immense, as the market has developed significantly over the past decade across various regions. Valued at an estimated $105 billion in 2023 and expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 5.5 percent, the market is projected to increase to $130 billion by 2027.¹ As the sector is maturing, brokers, consolidators and investors have searched for ways to create value and new revenue through growing their local market share or regional presence.

This report focuses on the unique drivers of consolidation and the challenges inherent in each country across Western Europe and the United States, the key players and takeaways from A&M’s observations and finally, “value win” opportunities for consolidators in the sector. Each major region and each individual country have unique market conditions and varying levels of opportunities, but major trends can be identified at a higher level. Together with the ability to accurately choose the right targets and optimise value through post-acquisition integration, buyers and investors can take advantage of those opportunities.
