What is the research?
Finaccord’s series of country-specific reports about commercial non-life insurance brokers plus the
BrokerBASE™ datasets and market data annexes that accompany them investigate the size,
growth and structure of the market for broking of non-life insurance for businesses in 30 countries.
Brokers are the most important single distribution channel for commercial non-life insurance in a
number of territories; moreover, they are increasing their share of this market in many countries,
often at the expense of tied agents, and are often expected to continue growing their overall share
in future, in spite of the challenging economic circumstances.

The reports first provide unique data for the size, segmentation and growth of the commercial non-
life insurance market itself in each country. They then quantify the share of this market that is
intermediated by brokers and rank the leading brokers according to their revenues from commercial
non-life insurance, excluding income from other activities. These analyses are based on an
investigation covering over 1,000 brokers around the world, with a total ranging from ten to 60 in
any given country, depending upon the number and importance of brokers in that country. This
makes them by far the most detailed and comprehensive studies of this market ever published.

What methodology has been used?
Finaccord’s investigation into commercial non-life insurance brokers is being carried out on an on-
going basis with the most recent cycle of research beginning in March 2012. The core of this research
is an analysis of leading brokers in each country that combines telephone interviews with senior
executives with published information and company accounts. Reliable statistics concerning the
market share of brokers do not exist in most countries, and in no cases are revenues from commercial
non-life insurance shown separately from personal lines, life insurance and pensions, and employee
benefits. Therefore, these studies provide genuinely unique data to answer the following questions:
• how large is the commercial non-life insurance market in each country and how does it segment?
• what are the key regulatory issues in each country?
• what proportion of business is handled by brokers and how has this changed over the last five
years?
• who are the leading brokers in each market, by revenues and employee numbers?
 the BrokerBASE™ datasets rank the top ten to 60 commercial non-life brokers per country,
depending on the size of the broker industry in each case;
• what are the main strengths and areas of specialisation of these leading brokers?
• how concentrated or fragmented are commercial non-life insurance broking markets?
• how can commercial non-life insurance broking markets be expected to develop in future years?
