HDI Global says Australia drove growth in tough APAC market

It plans further expansion across New Zealand and broader Asia Pacific in 2026.

HDI Global reported higher revenue and earnings for 2025, supported by new business growth, disciplined underwriting and pricing adjustments linked to inflation.

In a statement, the insurer said its Australian business played a key role in performance across Asia-Pacific (APAC), driven by profitable growth and expansion in international programmes.

Insurance revenue rose by 5% on a currency-adjusted basis to $11.95bn (€10.3bn) in 2025.

Earnings before interest and tax increased by 4% to $849.12m (€732m), whilst its contribution to parent Talanx Group net income grew 10% to $639.16m (€551m).

In Australia, the company reported continued growth through new multinational partnerships and expanded capabilities, including alternative risk transfer solutions.

Stefan Feldmann, head of APAC and managing director of HDI Global Australia, said international programmes remained a key growth driver, whilst close coordination across corporate and specialty units supported performance in a competitive market.

Looking ahead, the company expects further growth in 2026 under its global strategy, with continued investment in energy, climate and complex industrial risks, alongside expansion across Australia, New Zealand and the wider APAC region.
