This report provides a detailed analysis of the UK commercial property insurance market. It looks at the size of the market, performance ratios, claims costs, key issues and distribution trends. It also assesses the competitive landscape providing market share information and forecasts the total market GWP up to and including 2013.
Scope
*An examination of market size, growth and profitability.
*Analysis of the key drivers of claims inflation.
*Market share and combined ratio data for the largest commercial property insurers.
*Forecasts of market size and profitability to 2013.
Highlights
The market peaked in terms of premium growth rates in 2002 and thereafter growth rates declined moving into negative territory in 2005. Between 2005 and 2007 the market contracted before seeing growth for the first time in several years in 2008, as insurers put through small rate increases. In 2008 the market was worth £4.3 billion.
Analysis of gross incurred claims for the period to H1 2009 indicates that claims costs have been fairly benign for the first half of 2009 which bodes well for the sector. Gross incurred claims totaled £737m for H1 2009 which compares to £757m for H1 2008 and represents a fall of 2.6%.
Industry executives believe that the issue of players seeking market share for new business will hamper any renewal rate increase in the immediate future.
