Reinsurance Market Survey - H2 2021
Taking the temperature of the global reinsurance market
Survey Results
To begin, here are a few insights into the demographics of our reinsurance market survey respondents
As you'll see below, the majority of respondents have responsibility for, or provide input to, reinsurance and retrocession buying decisions
First, we asked our respondents to describe their feelings about reinsurance renewals so far in 2021
We then asked respondents for their price expectations for the following lines of business at the 1/1 2022 renewals
Our next question identified the primary focus of reinsurance buying in Jan 2022
Focus then naturally shifted towards identifying the key factors protection buyers consider when choosing a reinsurance counterparty
We asked whether protection buyers intend to purchase more or less reinsurance or retrocession, and from which sources?
We were also keen to understand how respondents saw ILS’ influence playing out over the next few years
We asked how respondents feel about the industry's ability to weather future major events, like pandemics
As M&A has been a hot topic in recent years, we asked whether the days of super-large deals are over
The industry seems split on how positive the future looks
So we asked what roadblocks to profitability may be ahead in the near-term
Finally, we asked what some of the top priorities will be for the industry in 2022
We hope you've found these insights into the state of the reinsurance market useful.
