The Challenge
A Middle Eastern reinsurer wanted to expand into African and Asian emerging markets but faced data scarcity, diverse regulatory environments, and limited local market knowledge. Traditional due diligence took 9-12 months per market.
The Solution
Deployed Market Intelligence Agent and Regulatory Agent to accelerate market entry analysis. The system aggregates alternative data sources, monitors regulatory developments, and provides risk assessments for frontier markets.
Implementation
Built screening framework assessing 40 emerging markets across regulatory environment, market size, competition, and growth potential. Prioritized top 15 markets for detailed analysis.
Conducted comprehensive analysis of prioritized markets including regulatory requirements, capital needs, distribution channels, and competitive landscape.
Deployed continuous monitoring of political risk, regulatory changes, economic indicators, and insurance market developments across all target markets.
Results
Reduced market entry analysis from 9 months to 2 months per market
Successfully entered 15 emerging markets in 18 months
Generated $320M in new premium from emerging market expansion
93% of entered markets achieved profitability within 24 months
