Description

United Kingdom (UK) Employers Liability Insurance Market Size, Trends, Competitor Dynamics and Opportunities


Summary

This report tracks the health and shape of the employers’ liability market - taking into account market size, profitability, performance ratios, and the claims environment. The UK’s economic growth, business landscape, and COVID-19 are all taken into consideration to build a full picture of this space. Key shifts in the market and likely future changes are analyzed for impact across all relevant stakeholders.

This market is more closely aligned to developments in the UK economy compared to other insurance lines. As the economy began to recover from the pandemic in 2022, the employers’ liability market was estimated to have grown by 7.1%, with inflation, in particular, a key factor. However, the reliance on the economy is problematic for the sector, as the UK is likely headed towards a recession, which will bring the economy to a standstill for much of 2023. The unemployment rate in the UK is increasing as more firms struggle with factors such as inflation and global supply chain issues putting pressure on profitability. The market is directly reliant on the number of businesses and employees in the UK, so this will have a negative impact on premiums.

Scope
  • The employers’ liability market grew by 19.9% in 2021, with GWP growing to GBP1.53 billion.
  • The employers’ liability market experienced a strong underwriting profit of GBP119 million in 2021.
  • The proportion of non-fatal injuries in the workplace fell by 20.4% between 2013-14 and 2021-22p, leading to fewer claims being made. However, the average claim costs increased by 13.5% from 2020 to 2021.
  • AXA is the largest employers’ liability insurer for SMEs in the UK, accounting for 9.4% of the market. Chubb became the largest general liability insurer in the UK in 2021, accounting for 9.3% of the market and growing its GWP by 36.6%.
  • The market is expected to grow by a further 7.1% in 2022, reaching GBP1.64 billion in GWP, before stabilizing to reach GBP1.87 billion by 2026.
Reasons to Buy
  • Understand the context of the UK’s economic growth and business landscape - as well as the impact of inflation, the cost-of-living living crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic - in relation to the employers’ liability insurance space.
  • Review your strategy against both existing and new challenges in this market.
  • Benchmark yourself against the market’s experience of market size, growth, performance, and the claims environment.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
