Howden’s fourth annual cyber report has found a market stabilisation following significant volatility in 2020 and 2021. The “Risk, Resilience, and Relevance” report found a 15% decrease in rates from their peak in 2022. Howden also found that carriers and brokers have improved price stability, coverage clarity, and consistency of terms and conditions in recent years. Howden predicts a projected global premium of US$43 billion by 2030, with significant growth expected to stem from expanding beyond the US and through serving more SMEs. Sarah Neild, Head of Cyber Retail UK Howden, commented: “At no other point has the market experienced the current mix of conditions: a heightened threat landscape combined with a stable insurance market underpinned by robust risk controls.
