Dublin, Feb. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Fire Insurance Global Market Report 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global fire insurance market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $74.07 billion in 2023 to $81.74 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The historical growth in fire insurance can be attributed to increased adoption by law enforcement agencies, investments in research and development, utilization in conflict zones, responses to civil unrest and protests, and applications within the military sector.
The fire insurance market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $120.45 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The forecasted growth in fire insurance is expected to be driven by factors such as urbanization and evolving policing needs, increased demand for humanitarian and peacekeeping efforts, regulatory changes and restrictions on lethal force, public perception and advocacy, and advancements in military strategy and modernization. Major trends in the forecast period include a focus on humanitarian missions and peacekeeping, technological advancements, improved strategies for managing civil unrest, regulatory emphasis on non-lethal force, and increased attention to public perception and safety concerns.
A noticeable uptick in fire accidents is anticipated to drive the growth of the fire insurance market in the foreseeable future. For example, a report by CTIF in 2022 highlighted an estimated increase in global fire accidents, reaching 3,999,276 incidents. Notably, the USA recorded a majority of fires, accounting for 1,388,500 incidents, followed by China with 252,000 fires. Consequently, the surge in fire accidents acts as a driving force for the expansion of the fire insurance market.
The burgeoning demand for properties is expected to be a significant driver propelling the growth of the fire insurance market in the upcoming years. For instance, in February 2023, Australia reported over 730,000 property sale settlements amounting to a total value of $674.5 billion in 2022, as per Property Exchange Australia Ltd. This escalating demand for properties underscores the driving force behind the growth of the fire insurance market.
Product innovation emerges as a dominant trend shaping the fire insurance market landscape. Leading insurance companies within this sector are actively introducing innovative insurance packages to fortify their market positions. For instance, in February 2021, AXA Affin General Insurance Berhad, a Malaysia-based insurance firm, launched BAPE (Business Advantage Plus Enhanced), an innovative fire insurance solution tailored specifically for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This business protection policy covers fire protection, fire consequential loss, and other perils such as burglary, public liability, and compensation. The BAPE solution offers distinct advantages to various business types, including food and beverage facilities, budget hotels, and learning centers, emphasizing the trend of product innovation within the fire insurance market.
Prominent entities within the fire insurance market are leveraging a strategic partnership approach to introduce and enhance fire safety technologies. These strategic partnerships involve collaborative efforts where companies leverage each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and advancements. For instance, in June 2022, Steadfast Group, an Australia-based insurance company, unveiled a strategic investment and partnership with Flame Security International (FSI), a Sydney-based fire protection technology firm. This investment aims to bolster the fire resistance capabilities of residential and commercial properties. Steadfast Group plans to collaborate with insurance partners and broker networks to promote FSI's suite of products. This partnership positions Steadfast as a significant investor and technical collaborator, addressing global challenges related to fire risks and environmental sustainability through economically viable solutions. Flame Security International (FSI) stands as a US-based company specializing in fire protection technology.
In November 2021, Everlake U.S. Holdings Company, a US-based insurance enterprise, completed the acquisition of Allstate Life Insurance Company for an estimated $4 billion. This strategic acquisition by Allstate aimed to strengthen its foothold in the property-liability segment of the market and expand its suite of client protection services. This transaction strategically reallocates capital into high-potential property-liability sectors and security services, simultaneously mitigating interest-rate risks. Allstate Life Insurance Company, the acquired entity, is a US-based insurance firm offering fire coverage among its services. This acquisition signifies Allstate's strategic move towards broadening its insurance offerings and reinforcing its presence in the fire insurance market.
