This article aims to identify the position of the foreign insurer in an insurance market.

Through the study of three countries (Malaysia, the UAE and Algeria) we concluded that the performance of foreign insurers was good, as the market shares of the foreign insurer in the life insurance branch exceeded 60%, while in the general insurance branch was approximately 59% for Malaysia, and 25% for the UAE.

In Algeria, we find a monopoly of the takaful insurance activity by one foreign company, while the foreign insurer represented 36% of the life insurance activity.
