The market volume (Net written premiums) has increased by 11.08% compared to the previous year, reaching USD 1086 million in June 2023. This increase shows constant growth in the Ecuadorian insurance sector and reflects the companies' commitment to the development and market expansion.
Despite this growth, intermediation results show a decrease of 12.5%. This indicates that insurers face challenges in efficiently managing their operations and managing their costs. It is essential for companies to improve their intermediation strategies to maintain their profitability and competitiveness in a changing and increasingly competitive environment.
In conclusion, the insurance market in Ecuador is experiencing sustained growth and greater market share for some insurers. The positive results in certain lines show the potential of the sector and its ability to adapt to the changing needs of consumers. However, the decrease in the intermediation result highlights the importance of efficient management to face the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities offered by the constantly evolving Ecuadorian insurance market.
