High levels of uncertainty have caused Life Insurers to look everywhere for profits. While the industry is mired in uncertainty, acquisitions will likely be inhibited. However, some companies are working to expand their operations in Asian markets, especially Korea and Japan. China has proven to be a difficult market for the sector despite its 15% yearly growth. All foreign companies are essentially required to have local partners meaning this market with extremely low insurance penetration is actually struggling to show profits.
