The business volume of this sector represents about 6.3% of GDP if the participation of Supplementary Health is considered and 3.5% without this segment. In 2021, the industry paid more than BRL 393.2 billion among benefits, indemnities, redemptions, prizes, and medical and dental expenses. The sector is also liable for 23.4% of the Brazilian public debt.

It was observed by the economic and financial indexes, mainly by the activity indexes, that the insurers, even in the pandemic period, managed to obtain good results and seemed to be structured to take on future challenges. However, some individual points drew attention and should be evaluated as described in the course of this research. There are challenging situations that deserve attention and future studies
