Interestingly, direct general insurance comes in seventh on the list, with $2.535 trillion in revenue for 2020.

Comparatively, the insurance industry as a whole was in the sixth position in 2019 according to Global Data.  It had a total of $2.611 trillion in revenue during that year and made $148 billion in profit.

The insurance industry started 2020 on a high note, as premiums growth in 2019 was at its highest level in four years. Life insurance grew from 2.8% in 2018 to 4.4% in 2019 as gross premiums grew at the same rate.

However, due to the global slowdown in economic activity, premiums income will decline by -3.8% worldwide according to an Allianz Global Insurance report. The decline is at least three times worse than it was after the 2008 financial crisis when premiums only sank by 1%. On the bright side, it is projected that in 2021, growth will return to 2019 levels at 4.4%

Metals and mining profits grew at 13.6%, placing the sector in third place, while the banking sector was fourth with a 12.6% growth rate.

As a result of the global pandemic, the situation for these sectors has been reversed in 2020. The oil and gas is once again at the forefront, but this time, with massive losses.

The reason behind the steep decline was an unprecedented decline in oil consumption during the period. This significantly weakened demand and in April at the peak of the pandemic and pushed prices to the lowest level since 1999.

From an average of $66 per barrel in H1 2019, Brent crude fell at least 40% to an average of $39.5 per barrel in H1 2020. Total oil demand for 2020 is estimated at 91.7m bbl per day compared to 99.8m bbl. per day in 2019 according to the Independent Commodity Intelligence Services (ICIS).

Notably though, oil and gas extraction is still highly profitable. According to a Forbes report, it is ranked third on the list of the most profitable industries. It sits behind accounting in the first place and legal services in the second.
