Market Scope and Structure Analysis

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

• With COVID-19 having an impact on all aspects of personal and professional life, digitization has emerged as a new way for the world to adjust to the new normal. This is especially true in the engineering insurance industry, where insurers have begun to distribute their products and raise awareness through various digital channels.
• Insurers created new COVID-19-specific products to provide customers with various coverages that protect against the financial risks as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Since many construction projects were halted all of a sudden, there has been pressure on both the companies and the investors who pitched in either for construction or purchasing.

Top Impacting Factors

An increase in demand for tailor-made engineering insurance and growing preference for costly electronic equipment & the need to insure them are driving the growth of the market. In addition, the increasing need to absorb unforeseen losses during the construction and operation of plants helps propel the growth of the market. However, the economic slowdown in emerging countries might hamper the growth of the market. Contrarily, the emergence of new technologies in engineering practices is said to provide lucrative opportunities.

Increase in Demand for Tailor-Made Engineering Insurance

The rise in demand for engineering insurance is being witnessed as the contractors are also covered by insurance, wherein it provides financial protection against loss or damage incurred during the construction of projects.

Furthermore, engineering insurance mostly revolves around the company's mention of construction-related uncertainties on-site. It is required for civil engineering projects such as flyovers, buildings, and airports, among others. The insurance also protects in the event of a fire that occurs while working on a project. This is, however, largely covered by a separate policy known as fire insurance. Therefore, the rise in demand for engineering insurance is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecasted period.

Growing Preference of Costly Electronic Equipment & the Need to Insure Them

Most of the time, for construction, different electronic machineries are used which are bound to be a bit costly. Therefore, the demand for the electronic equipment policy rose significantly over the years as it will be too hard to replace once the machinery gets damaged. Furthermore, this policy covers devices and systems that are susceptible to low power & voltage. As a result, electronic equipment such as UPSs, computers, and stabilizers, as well as medical equipment such as x-ray machines & ultrasound machines, are covered. The insurers will be responsible for the cost of repairs and replacements required to restore the device and equipment to its previous state under this policy. Therefore, the increased preference for getting the electronic equipment insured is driving the growth of the engineering insurance market during the forecasted period.
