The global hull & machinery insurance market trends are as follows:

Changes in exposure and stringent claims experience

The exposure patterns have shifted dramatically in terms of lower distance coverages to vessels.

Adoption of digital platform in insurance

According to International Business Machines (IBM), an American multinational technology company, projected that more than 80% of insurers and 99% of outperforming insurance companies are expected to boost their revenue collection through the adoption of a digital platform in the market. In addition, huge number of insurers is expected to increase their revenue growth by 15% with an implementation of digital platform. Therefore, the adotion of digital platforms is expected to foster the hull & machinery insurance market growth.
