Cigna sees potential opportunities for offering coverage to individual Americans and strong prospects for international growth as the company establishes footholds in India and Turkey.
While Cigna primarily offers health insurance through large employers in the United States, the company is investing in growth opportunities abroad, including products sold directly to individuals that supplement government programs.
In its international business for providing supplemental insurance products, Asia will be the main growth area in the near term, complemented by Europe and the Middle East, and the company is eyeing an eventual move into Latin America.
