The property & casualty reinsurance market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $406.48 in 2023 to $457.22 in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as natural catastrophes and climate events, regulatory changes impacting the insurance industry, global economic conditions, dynamics within the insurance market, and industry consolidation within the insurance sector.
The property & casualty reinsurance market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $728.71 in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the increased frequency and severity of natural disasters, stricter regulatory requirements, the globalization of risks, shifts in consumer behavior, and emerging technological risks. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the globalization of risks and markets, a heightened focus on resilience and business continuity, challenges related to regulatory changes and compliance, pandemic risk management strategies, the exploration of alternative capital sources, and an increased emphasis on collaboration and partnerships within the property and casualty reinsurance industry.
The anticipated increase in the number of natural calamities is set to drive the growth of the property and casualty reinsurance market in the upcoming years. Natural calamities, arising from hazards such as earthquakes, floods, cyclones, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides, have adverse effects on the environment, causing property damage, loss of life, and other negative impacts. Reinsurance plays a crucial role in helping property and casualty insurers manage risks associated with concentrated natural disasters. Therefore, the surge in natural calamities is expected to bolster the property and casualty reinsurance market. For instance, Forbes reported in 2022 that the U.S. witnessed 18 climate disasters causing over $1 billion in damage, totaling $175.2 billion and resulting in 474 fatalities. Consequently, the increase in the number of natural calamities is a driving force behind the property and casualty reinsurance market.
The growth in home ownership is poised to propel the property and casualty reinsurance market. Home ownership, denoting the legal possession and control of a residential property, sees increased demand in the property and casualty reinsurance market. Insurers seek to bolster their capacity and financial resilience in response to rising trends in home ownership. This underscores the vital role of reinsurance in supporting the expanding housing market, providing insurers with financial backing to navigate and mitigate risks tied to increased home ownership. In 2021, data from The Mortgage Bankers Association revealed a 33% surge in mortgage applications for new home purchases compared to 2020. Consequently, the rise in home ownership is expected to drive the growth of the property and casualty reinsurance market.
Product innovation emerges as a prominent trend in the property and casualty reinsurance market. Major companies in the market focus on developing innovative products to fortify their positions. For instance, Ascot Group, a UK-based specialty insurance and reinsurance company, launched Ascot Reinsurance's platform for global reinsurance underwriting and ceded risk solutions in September 2021. This platform serves as a central entry point for all reinsurance offerings, streamlining client services, claims, treaty, facultative solutions, and claims management.
