The global import-export insurance market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4% from 2024 to 2030, according to a report by HTF MI. The market is expected to rise from $11.9 billion in 2024 to $19.84 billion by 2030. Import-export insurance provides protection to businesses involved in international trade, covering potential loss or damage to goods during transit. The increasing demand for this insurance stems from the expansion of global trade and the need for financial safeguards to secure credit lines from financial institutions. Many banks and lenders require importers and exporters to have insurance in place before extending credit facilities, such as letters of credit or export financing.
The growth of the market is supported by the rising volume of international trade as companies continue to expand operations and source products globally. This trend has driven the need for insurance solutions to mitigate the risks associated with cross-border transactions. Opportunities in the market include the development of customized insurance products designed to meet the unique needs of different industries and trade routes. Tailored coverage is particularly beneficial as businesses face varying risks based on their sector and geography.
Moreover, technological advancements, including blockchain and advanced data analytics, are expected to enhance transparency and streamline the underwriting process, benefiting both insurers and clients. However, challenges remain. Economic fluctuations can reduce international trade activity, impacting the demand for import-export insurance. Additionally, the high cost of insurance, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), may limit wider adoption, as some businesses may find comprehensive coverage financially burdensome.
