Market size
The global insurance market generated $7.799 trillion in premiums in 2024. Separately, nonbank financial intermediation assets reached $256.8 trillion in 2024, equivalent to 51.0% of total global financial assets.[92][91]
Forecast & CAGR
Swiss Re Institute forecasts total global insurance premium growth of 2.0% in 2025 and 2.3% in 2026, down from 5.2% in 2024. KPMG reported that global fintech investment rose from $95.5 billion in 2024 to $116 billion in 2025, an increase of about 21.5%.[92][22]
Market share & regions
The United States accounted for 44.8% of global insurance premiums in 2024, followed by China at 10.2% and the United Kingdom at 6.2%. In fintech investment during 2025, the Americas attracted $66.5 billion, compared with $29.2 billion in EMEA and $9.3 billion in Asia-Pacific.[92]
Segmentation
BFSI spans banking, insurance, asset management, payments, securities and fintech. Within nonbank financial intermediation in 2024, other financial intermediaries held $169.4 trillion in assets, while the narrower measure of potentially bank-like activities reached $76.3 trillion.[91]
Key players & concentration
The 100 largest banking groups held a combined $131.1 trillion in assets at the end of their 2025 financial years. Chinese banks represented 34% of that total, while US banks represented 14%; ICBC was the largest bank at $7.61 trillion in assets.[93]

In the euro area, the composite cost of borrowing for household home-purchase loans was 3.54% in July 2026. New household consumer loans averaged 7.60%, while new household deposits with agreed maturity of up to one year paid 2.10%.[58]
Trends, drivers & challenges
Financial conditions, asset prices and lower policy rates supported 9.4% growth in NBFI assets during 2024, twice the banking sector’s 4.7% growth. Key challenges include leverage, liquidity transformation, complex bank–nonbank interconnections and limited private-credit data.[91]
Consumer behavior & competition
Competition is shifting toward digital and fintech-led services: global fintech investment reached $116 billion across 4,719 deals in 2025, although deal volume fell to an eight-year low. Payments, digital finance and technology-enabled distribution are attracting capital alongside incumbent banking and insurance platforms.[22]
Regulation
As of September 30, 2026, three-quarters of Basel Committee member jurisdictions had published rules adopting the final Basel III standards with implementation dates beginning January 1, 2023. Regulators are also moving from policy design toward monitoring and implementation of safeguards for nonbank financial intermediation leverage.[84][91]
Latest news
