We’re going to be delving deeper into the insurance industry’s current situation in the UK, hopefully giving you a better insight into the industry, as well as the professional translation services we can provide to you and your business.
Top insurance trends in the UK for 2024
- Climate change: this growing issue has resulted in unprecedented damage to insured homes up and down the United Kingdom, which has seen a rapid rise in insurance prices.
- Inflated rates: This is a knock-on effect of the inflation in repair costs, with businesses desperately attempting to balance their margins. It is estimated that the increase in the cost of insuring your home is set to get even higher, with the Financial Times predicting more than a 33% rise in the UK over the coming 2 years.
- Car insurance prices at an all-time high: A current nationwide shortage in vehicle parts and staff has resulted in insurers raising their rates. Car insurance giants, Admiral, have predicted a plateau in inflated prices as early as 2024. However, this has been heavily debated amongst industry experts, with many believing we will continue to see an increase in rates up until 2025 at the very least.
- Recover period for the industry: the insurance industry has found itself in a recover period, following the effects of Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. With all of these events happening in quick succession, every UK insurance market is still feeling the full effects. Another stand out issue for UK insurance providers at the moment, is the ever-changing international markets.
The impact of Brexit on the UK insurance market
Travel insurance, haulage insurance, and seafood insurance, have all seen, or experienced first-hand, the immediate effects and changes brought about by Brexit.
Passport problems have made it more and more challenging for UK and EU financial providers to reach a deal.
Prudential, a London-based insurance company, considered moving its office headquarters to Hong Kong, due to tight EU regulations following Brexit.
65% of its staff in London have already been relocated to Hong Kong, with the company’s new CEO being appointed in Hong Kong too.
Although its office in the capital is staying put, it appears Prudential has been forced to reconsider their future endeavours following the aftermath of Brexit, with the renowned insurance company seemingly having its primary focus on the Asian market.
Brexit appears to have affected 60% of the commercial insurance industry worldwide, however, it is claimed to have impacted upon a staggering 100% of UK insurance companies.
Despite the previously mentioned factors having a significant impact upon the industry (COVID-19, climate change, and the war in Ukraine), experts unanimously agree that Brexit has been responsible for the vast majority of the UK insurance industry’s current deplorable state.
Insurance in the City of London
The London Market is unique, and is independent of the rest of the UK. It attracts a lot of global interest, so much so that out of the total instalments that take place, only 30% are UK-based, with the rest being received from clients overseas.
It is the only active market to have the top 20 assured reinsurance companies all present.
Furthermore, there are currently 140 certified insurance companies located in the City of London.
Over the past few years, we have witnessed an increase in the scrutiny surrounding high-exposure risks.
Insurance providers in London primarily specialise in non-life insurance, along with reinsurance.
The London Market is undergoing a technological advancement, with 33% of active insurers investing in new technology.
Insurers want to ensure that an efficient and flawless service is on offer for every broker and client.
Translation for insurance companies
