The Middle East reinsurance market is primarily driven by the rising frequency and severity of natural catastrophes, which compel reinsurers to enhance their risk models and develop innovative management solutions. Market size was valued at approximately USD 25.7 billion, with notable growth from increased parametric insurance adoption that offers faster claims settlements. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies is also streamlining underwriting processes, claims management, and boosting transparency. Government regulations, such as Saudi Arabia's mandate for local cessions of 30% in reinsurance treaties, further support the market by encouraging local market growth and capacity building.

Another key driver is the expanding economic diversification and infrastructure investments in the region, increasing the demand for non-life insurance covers like property, engineering, and health. For example, the UAE launched mandatory health insurance schemes covering private sector employees and domestic workers. Increasing digitization across the Middle East introduces emerging risk categories like cyber insurance, broadening reinsurance opportunities. Additionally, the influx of new reinsurance capacities within hubs like Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) fosters competition, innovation, and provides more customized risk solutions, enhancing market resilience and client benefits.
