Global Aviation Insurance Market Growth

As per the aviation insurance market analysis, claims for crash/collision-related incidents account for 63% of the total value of aircraft insurance claims, including events like hard landings, runway incidents, and bird strikes. They are closely followed by claims for defective product/faulty workmanship and natural disasters (including turbulence). Other incidents that significantly impact aviation insurance claims include travel issues like property damage, lost baggage, and slip and fall incidents, among others.

Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) are enhancing passenger travel experiences by ensuring sustainability and efficiency of operations. They are also performing a wide range of tasks including cargo transportation, firefighting, and medical evacuation. The annual industrial revenues from eVTOL sales are expected to increase from USD 1 billion in 2030 to USD 90 billion in 2050. This is expected to facilitate the aviation insurance market expansion as eVTOLs can face operational risks like mid-air collisions, loss of power, or foreign object damage during flight. The sensitive nature of its movements makes it vulnerable in dense urban areas for test flight, which is further expected to propel the market development in the coming years.

Key Trends and Developments

Evolving geopolitical conditions; growing demand for ground risk hull insurance not in motion; increasing incidences of runway accidents; and technological advancements are the major factors driving the aviation insurance market growth.

January 2025

Boeing, a renowned American aircraft manufacturer, announced its intent to help Nigerian airlines access adequate aviation insurance coverage through its partnership with global financiers. This comes after its announcement in October 2024 to establish a forum for increasing foreign investors’ awareness of Nigerian airlines.

January 2025

Airbus announced that it recorded a sustained growth in aircraft delivery to 86 customers worldwide in 2024, especially those belonging to the family of A220, A320, A330, and A350. The company delivered nearly 766 commercial aircraft globally while registering 878 gross new orders. This is expected to favourably impact the aviation insurance market dynamics in the coming years.

December 2024

Redline Underwriting introduced a new general aviation insurance product in collaboration with the UK’s Allianz Commercial to enable small and medium-size aircraft operators in the Latin America and Caribbean region to meet the insurance demands of pleasure and private business aircraft operators.

April 2024

Air India finalised its insurance deal worth USD 30 million with Tata AIG General Insurance emerging as the biggest insurer (36%) of 2023. Other insurers of Air India include Oriental Insurance Company, GIC Re, ICICI Lombard General Insurance, and United India Insurance. The policy is designed to provide total insurance cover of nearly USD 10 billion, including cover for its low-cost global subsidiary Air India Express.

Evolving geopolitical conditions

Geopolitical instability, including political tensions and conflicts, has heightened the risk of aviation companies operating in or near affected regions. This has necessitated carriers to take comprehensive insurance coverage to ensure adequate protection against financial losses.

Growing demand for ground risk hull insurance not in motion

The adoption of next-generation aircraft has necessitated the use of sophisticated technologies for engine disassembly and aircraft repairs. As per the market analysis, claims costs for certain aircraft parts have soared by 10%-15% over the past few years, thereby prompting market players to take holistic ground risk hull insurance not in motion.

Increasing incidences of runway accidents

During January-May 2024, 23 incidents related to runway incursions were reported worldwide. Moreover, in countries like the United States, the number of runway incursions reported per 1 million flights rose from 20 a decade ago to over 30 in 2023. This is expected to drive the aviation insurance market growth in the coming years.

Technological advancements

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the market by enabling underwriters to rely on flight data recording systems and telematics tools to better predict risks and improve safety. This can substantially improve policy pricing and enhance the market share of different companies.

Global Aviation Insurance Market Trends

Growth of GPS jamming incidents

Eastern European and Middle Eastern countries have reportedly witnessed a noticeable surge in the number of GPS spoofing incidents, which trick an aircraft’s flight management systems into indicating that the aeroplane is many miles off its destination. The number of GPS spoofing and jamming incidents has increased by over 40% from Q1 of FY-2023, indicating the robust demand for in-flight insurance solutions by aircraft carriers. This is one of the key aviation insurance market trends.

Growth of helicopter tourism

Over 2 million tourists annually participate in helicopter tours across the United States. The growth of high-ticket luxury tours and affordable travel destinations has enabled the domestic industry to generate annual revenues of over USD 500 million. As the government strengthens its safety standards for aircraft carriers, the aviation insurance market value is expected to record steady growth.
