Transaction Monitor Insurance Market H2-2024

From consolidation to dominance: shifting power dynamics in the market

This week, we published the Transaction Monitor Insurance market H2-2024, in which we provide insight into acquisition activity within the insurance sector and its broader implications for the industry as a whole.

The findings from the Transaction Monitor reveal that the Dutch insurance market is undergoing rapid transformation. The consolidation wave has given way to a new phase: the shift from consolidation to dominance, in which a select group of players is increasingly asserting control over the market. Whereas acquisitions previously focused on larger intermediaries, we now see a significant rise in transactions within the increasingly scarce mid-market segment. Despite the declining number of available firms in this category, demand for high-quality portfolios remains strong, keeping prices consistently high.
