The insurance market of Japan is very capacious, after the USA, Great Britain and Germany takes the fourth place in a pattern.
Many vendors of Japanese cars use services of insurance companies, for example Mazda, Toyota, Nissan. Also other markets also need services of insurers (real estate, tourism), exchange structures which make transactions of securities (to an action, bonds, options, futures), and also to different goods (wheat, coffee, oil, gas, gold, silver, gasoline, cotton, sugar and other goods), the banking organizations (banks of Europe, Banks of Switzerland, Banks of Ukraine, Banks of Russia, banks of the USA), brokers, investment companies, managing directors of Mutual funds and others.

Approach in activities of the Japanese companies is strictly conservative. Development of Japanese economy pushed to an output on other markets of Japanese insurance groups. In Japan also plays very the significant role the reinsurance market since there the risk of approach of insured events is very great (for example, disastrous actions, typhoons, etc.) .
