Heirs Insurance Group has secured two places in the Financial Times and Statista ranking of Africa’s Fastest-Growing Companies 2026, highlighting its rapid rise in an industry long constrained by low trust, weak distribution and limited access.
Heirs Life Assurance ranked seventh after recording a compound annual growth rate of 147.85%, while Heirs General Insurance placed 41st with a CAGR of 60.02%.
The recognition came shortly after the group marked its fifth anniversary in June 2026, following five years of expansion across its life and general insurance businesses.
From a 2021 launch to continental recognition
Heirs Insurance Group began operations in 2021 as Africa’s insurance industry faced longstanding barriers to growth.
