The Gallagher Business Insurance Market Conditions and Risk Dynamics H1 2024 report provides expert insights into insurance market conditions and risk factors affecting Australian businesses at this time.

VIEW REPORT

In the last six to 12 months, we have seen Australian insurers seeking to capitalise on the insurance market's 'hardening' and peak pricing cycle, driving a more competitive environment with London, Singapore, and other international markets. This has had a positive effect on premium rates, which are now showing greater stability than in previous years.

This shift in the landscape is also encouraging insurance brokers to spend more time and energy exploring a wider range of options for businesses, including limits, deductibles, restructuring, captives, and parametric insurance solutions.
