United Kingdom (UK) Commercial Insurance Distribution 2021

Summary

UK commercial insurance distribution is dominated by brokers. Brokers facilitate the commercial insurance purchasing process by selecting products that best suit a businesss needs and finding insurers that are willing to take on that risk. Brokers also play a vital role in advising businesses about products and services that will provide the best cover. COVID-19 has highlighted the gaps in cover that exist in insurance policies and the need for comprehensive cover for businesses. To this end, brokers services have become more valuable as a result.

The purpose of this report is to provide an in-depth study into the most significant developments and recent trends within commercial insurance distribution. It discusses the influence of the different purchasing behaviors of SMEs compared to larger corporate entities, and pays particular attention to the role and strategies of brokers (traditionally the main channel used by customers). The report also addresses the current challenges the market is facing, key regulatory factors, and the possible inclusion of new digital technologies to enhance the product selection and/or distribution processes. It concludes with a four-year forecast for each distribution channel.
