The insurance market is necessary for the good functioning of the economic system. The concept of a country's insurance market can be determined in several ways, such as the total annual premium in one country, the per capita premium, the number of market participants, the market potential, and so on. Insurance companies distribute their products directly or through intermediaries with the help of insurance agents and insurance brokers. Insurance agents are conducting business on behalf of the insurance companies, while on the other hand, insurance brokers act on behalf of the clients and work for the policymakers. The European Union conducted a directive on insurance intermediation that created a new legislation in the European Union in 2002. Insurance intermediation is represented as a potential for reduction of transaction and search costs but also as reduction of information asymmetry between insurers and customers.
