Allianz Worldwide Partners is the new integrated offer responding to an undergoing profound change worldwide. In an increasingly connected and globalised economy, and with changes in consumer behaviour and ever higher demands from its partners, Allianz Worldwide Partners offers a solution for each market.

Allianz Worldwide Partners accompanies and supports each of its clients thanks to its unique combination of service, insurance and technology for the assistance, travel insurance, international healthcare and automotive industries. 

In 2015 all of the Group’s lines of business reported growth: +19 % for assistance and travel insurance, +8% for automotive and +18 % for international health.

Allianz Worldwide Partners’ assistance and travel insurance business grew by 19% compared to 2014, and by 14% at a constant exchange rate, to reach 3.176 billion euros. This growth was driven by a 67% increase in the « home and daily life » activity and by a 42% increase in travel insurance in the United States. Operating profit rose to 116 million euros, up 14% over 2014.

The automotive business in 2015 reported 8% growth (6% at a constant exchange rate) with a turnover of 2.818 billion euros. Operating profit followed a similar trajectory with 102 million euros and a 17% rise compared to 2014. The increase of this line of business was mostly due to strong growth in the Asia-Pacific (Australia, India and China) and in Europe (Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland). Two product lines in particular, warranty extension (+14%) and motor insurance (+6%), contributed to business development.

Allianz Worldwide Care, the specialist brand for international health and life of Allianz Worldwide Partners, reported turnover of 1.306 billion euros, up 18% compared to 2014 (+10% at a constant exchange rate). The same goes for operating profit, which reached 65 million euros (+22% compared to 2014). The signing and renewal of several partnerships, and the launch of new offers (corporate assistance, individual healthcare products and international health insurance programmes) proved to be the strongest drivers of growth. 

The Group continues to geographically expand its operations. While Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa still represent 62% of total turnover, in 2015 the Asia-Pacific region accounted for 25% of all activity and the Americas accounted for 13%.

Germany and Australia are competing for the first place on the podium and respectively represented over 16% of the Group’s activity, followed by France (11%) and the USA (8%).
