Spain Life Insurance Market Trends
- Due to rising activism, shareholder pressures, increased regulatory monitoring, and customer interest in the ESG standards of the companies they buy from, insurance companies have strengthened their ESG commitments in recent years.
- A lack of understanding of specific insurance risks, limited research on mortality risks, and perceived greater health risks have historically curtailed the development of affordable life insurance coverage for individuals who do not conform to traditional binary identities. Men are charged higher life insurance premiums compared to women due to their lower life expectancy. Hence, the medical history of transgender people complicates the underwriting process. With greater emphasis on this matter across regions, the industry is noting development.
