Promisingly, the leading global advisory, broking and solutions company suggests that the insurance industry will adapt to the continuing hard market by utilizing analytics and data-driven tools to change the way both buyers and sellers approach the negotiating table when it comes to risk transfer.<\/p>\n<p>The report, published today, points to several factors accentuating the current hard market, underscored by the significant withdrawal of capacity in response to systemic changes in risk exposures. These triggers include the surge in frequency and severity of natural catastrophes across the world, the persistent increase in man-made property damage losses and rise in severity for liability losses of all types attributed to \u201csocial inflation.\u201d Further and unsurprisingly, the pandemic continues to hurt our populations and economies, exacerbating the hard market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to look back to the defining hard market crisis of the mid-1980s to see market conditions of the proportions we are currently experiencing \u2014 one of double- and triple-digit rate increases in most lines of business and dramatically reduced capacity in key lines,\u201d said Joe Peiser, global head of Broking, Willis Towers Watson. \u201cHowever, our experience in this hard market is that there is a wide range of results; renewal results are not huddled around the mean. This means underwriters are <em>underwriting,<\/em> and there is the opportunity to differentiate your risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report emphasizes the significant role analytics is playing across the industry, especially as organizations demand to know the value insurance brings. \u201cInsureds are finding that risk analytics provide the insights they need to measure this value and set insurance priorities,\u201d said Peiser. \u201cAnalytics can also make our industry more relevant to global business leaders, as we advise them on the sources of volatility to their bottom line, backed up by credible analytics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For most lines, rate increases predicted in 2021 surpass those forecasted last spring. In the few cases where rate reductions were considered possible last spring, now, the best outcome buyers can hope for is flat renewals \u2014 with the exception of kidnap and ransom. Across some lines \u2014 such as workers compensation, life sciences (new this issue), terrorism, product recall and alternative risk transfer \u2014 flat renewals are possible, though increases will persist for many buyers. In a handful of lines (e.g., aerospace, environmental, marine, trade credit, personal), rate predictions were no worse than in the spring. In every other line, higher increases are expected in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, the property environment is full of challenges with expectations of hardening continuing into 2021; however, rate increases should begin to moderate by midyear barring another major insured catastrophe. \u201cCatastrophe losses and continued attritional losses amid uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 are just a few factors contributing to the sustained rate pressure buyers are experiencing,\u201d said Peiser.<\/p>\n<p>The commercial liability marketplace remains hard because of various factors continuing to negatively affect loss trends and underwriting profitability. This especially holds true for the umbrella\/excess liability marketplace, which continues to experience extensive disruption. \u201cThe casualty marketplace presents a range of challenges, and utilization of analytics remains an important tool for navigating these challenges,\u201d said Peiser.<\/p>\n<p>Workers compensation rate decreases are flattening, with slight increases now materializing in response to high severity\/excess losses; workers compensation continues to be the casualty line of business with the most COVID-19 claim activity. Auto liability continues to be unprofitable for insurers as claim payments remain on the rise. \u201cInsureds continue to experience rate increases and program restrictions,\u201d said Peiser.<\/p>\n<p>Directors\u2019 and officers\u2019 (D&amp;O) liability will continue to see upward pressure well into 2021, but new start-up insurers targeting D&amp;O could lead to some market stabilization. In the cyber market, given the dramatic increase in ransomware incidents during the pandemic, organizations should be proactive in assessing their cyber resilience and demonstrate it to underwriters. \u201cCOVID-19 continues to impact the cyber market with capacity tightening and rates on the rise,\u201d said Peiser.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery organization has been changed by the pandemic \u2014 some positively, many negatively,\u201d said Peiser. \u201cBut as we look to the future, we are confident analytics, judgment and relationships will bring this difficult market to a new equilibrium \u2014 one that provides customers with protection from emerging risks and growing volatility and keeps the underwriting community relevant to world business. We may not see a precipitous return to soft pricing, but we will see moderation and perhaps some welcome sustainability \u2014 and increased relevance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Key price
