Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact on UK Commercial Insurance
COVID-19 will have an impact on market premiums, claims, product uptake, and exposure. COVID-19 has changed, and will continue to change, consumer behavior. Reinsurance rates are likely to increase, and due to high competitiveness and a lack of disposable income among consumers, the costs of these rate increases could be passed onto commercial insurance customers. These changes will translate into increased demand for certain types of insurance policies, a shift in the way that businesses purchase insurance, as well as challenges for brokers, who have relied on face-to-face contact to help sell policies.
The impacts of COVID-19 will also be spread out over a long period of time. In the short term, the commercial insurance landscape will change as a direct result of struggling economies, country lockdowns, and reduced social interaction. Changes and developments in the medium and long term will occur due to lasting changes to consumer and business behavior.
