This report examined the possibility of market entry in Saudi Arabia for Prudential PLC. Findings show opportunities are growing in key segments such as insurance, where insurance penetration at only 1.7% of GDP, remains relatively low even compared to the rest of Asia. And with a CAGR of 5%, the insurance premium is expected to grow to $12.8bn by 2024, up from US$9.5billion in 2018 showing a big opportunity. Nevertheless, this will depend on the continued impact of covid-19 which has been negative for the sector so far. Recommendations are given on how Prudential Financial can successfully enter the Saudi Arabia market and improve long term profitability.

According to Johnson et al., (2017), the business environment can create both opportunities as well as risks that are capable of transforming entire industries, creating winners and losers. This is why managers pay great attention to political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental issues arising out of their industry environment as they often act as industry drivers, throwing up both opportunities as well as new risks.
