The growth in Saudi Arabia may also be an indicator of the growth that will be experienced in the worldwide insurance markets.

According to the report, as of 2009, health insurance made up about half of the total insurance market.

Part of the protection and savings sector, health insurance is anticipated to keep up its rapid growth in the years to come.

Other insurance sectors are seeing growth as well. It is forecasted that general insurance will grow by about one-fourth from 2010 to 2012, possibly as a result of a rise in insurance costs related to vehicles and energy. It is further expected that aviation and property insurance may be part of the fastest growing as well.
