Cyber: A Huge and Still-Untapped Market

Cyber insurance is a potentially huge, but still largely untapped, opportunity for insurers and reinsurers. We estimate that annual gross written premiums are set to increase from around $2.5 billion today to reach $7.5 billion by the end of the decade. Businesses across all sectors are beginning to recognize the importance of cyber insurance in today’s increasingly complex and high-risk digital landscape. In turn, many insurers and reinsurers are looking to take advantage of what they see as a rare opportunity to secure high margins in an otherwise soft market.
