DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "United Kingdom (UK) Commercial Property Insurance Market Size, Trends, Competitor Dynamics and Opportunities" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report analyzes the UK commercial property insurance market, looking at drivers of uptake across different demographics and dwelling types.
It discusses the claims landscape in 2020, as well as the commercial property market across London and upcoming regulatory changes within insurance. Incumbent competitors are analyzed and compared, along with newcomers and insurtechs within the space. The report also explores future impacts in the market, including climate change, underinsurance, and the changing office environment.
Gross written premiums (GWP) in the UK commercial property insurance market grew 15.9% to reach nearly GBP7 billion in 2020. This growth can be attributed to a significant hardening of rates in the market, while demand for policies experienced a slight increase. In early 2020, the claims market was affected by weather-related claims as storms Ciara, Dennis, and Jorge swept through the UK.
The rest of the year was dominated by COVID-19, with shops and offices shuttered for significant periods of time, leading to a boom in business interruption claims. Going forward, claims inflation - driven primarily by global supply-side constraints - will preserve the hardening market as construction costs continue to grow and the economy battles to emerge from both the pandemic and Brexit.
