Salama Cooperative Insurance Company — Cyborg Score 6/10
Solid
Cooperative Insurance / Takaful
Strategic Profile
Salama positions itself as a pioneering Takaful operator with multi-regional footprint across six direct subsidiaries in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Senegal, Algeria, and Jordan, plus a Re-Takaful company in Tunisia. The company leverages its first-mover advantage as one of the earliest cooperative insurance providers under Saudi regulations and maintains strong competitive positioning through diversified product offerings and institutional presence in a growing Islamic finance market.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Salama demonstrates solid fundamentals as an established regional Takaful player with diversified insurance segments (Medical, Motor, Others) and multi-country operations. However, market cap of ~$113M and revenue of $141M (as of June 2025) reflects moderate scale, positioning it as a mid-sized regional player rather than a market leader in the competitive Saudi insurance sector.
