Kathmandu. The German company Allianz SE has long occupied the top position in the global insurance industry. However, the company has dropped to second place in the latest global rankings of 2026. This year, Berkshire Hathaway took the first place. <\/p>\n
Founded in 1890, Allianz has gradually expanded beyond European borders to become a global power. The company established a strong presence in international market offering various services including life insurance, health insurance, property and accident insurance and wealth management. <\/p>\n
In 2025, Allianz topped the list of the world’s 25 largest insurance companies by non-banking assets published by AM Best. At the time, the company’s net worth was about $1.09 trillion. The company, which has been at the top for many years, has been highly praised for its financial strength and strategic management. <\/p>\n
However, the 2026 list has changed. Berkshire Hathaway climbed to the top of the list with a net worth of about $1.15 trillion. With this, Allianz has dropped to second place. <\/p>\n
According to analysts, strong growth in the U.S.-based market and diversified investment strategies have propelled Berkshire. However, Allianz’s position remains unshaken despite a setback in the rankings. The company operates in more than 70 countries and serves millions of customers. <\/p>\n
Allianz’s wealth management department also plays a key role in the global market. A high credit rating and long-term investment strategy ensure the stability of the company. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the global insurance sector is facing many challenges. Climate change, global economic uncertainty and the risks of rapid digital transformation have pushed the insurance industry into a new reality. <\/p>\n
Allianz has already increased investment in artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics and technology-based services. Similarly, the company is giving priority to sustainable and environment-friendly investment policy. <\/p>\n
Experts believe Allianz can regain its top position if it can continue to expand and innovate in emerging markets. The competition for leadership in the global insurance industry has intensified. Allianz is writing a new chapter in that competition. \u2013Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
