World Takaful Conference 2019 | Middle East Global Advisors (MEGA) | 9 April 2019 | Dusit Thani Dubai, Sheikh Zayed Road, Near Financial Centre Metro Station - Dubai - UAE

According to recent reports, In the GCC, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has the best depth and breadth of products, and offers the most diversified suite of family and general takaful products. The report noted that since 2008 the GCC region recorded a stable insurance and takaful industry growth with buoyant performance in some countries like the UAE (CAGR of 11.75% and 18.5% for the insurance and takaful sectors respectively) with the takaful industry witnessing a faster growth rate in the period 2008-2012. This is majorly attributed to the implementation of new regulations with compulsory health and motor insurance schemes. The global takaful insurance market has exhibited impressive double digit growth with gross takaful contributions reaching US$18.3 billion in the first half of 2013. A major challenge facing the Takaful industry going forward will be to boost top line growth levels while also focusing on technical profitability. The evolving regulatory landscape, pricing dynamics and technical profitability will be key factors that will shape the direction of the industry at this important juncture in 2015 and beyond.

A critical factor that will determine success in taking the industry to the next level of development will be the readiness of industry players to formulate and execute successful strategies in response to new market conditions and rapidly adapt to capture new emerging opportunities that will reignite growth levels. As the industry becomes increasingly competitive, leading operators are now working on how they can overcome the challenge of maintaining the exciting growth rate of the past few years while also becoming increasingly focused on the imperative of boosting profitability from their core business. A key challenge for leading Takaful players will be to create a stronger value proposition and better differentiate Takaful products.
