Title insurance protects lenders and buyers from financial loss due to defects in a title to a property. During a transfer of property ownership, title insurance protects homebuyers and mortgage lenders against defects or problems with the title. Depending on the policy, the title insurance company may be responsible for paying specified legal damages if a title dispute arises during or after a sale.

Title insurance protects both lenders and homebuyers against loss or damage occurring from liens, or defects in the title or actual ownership of a property. Common claims filed against a title are back taxes, liens from mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, easements, and conflicting wills. Unlike traditional insurance, which protects against future events, title insurance protects against claims for past occurrences. So, to protect people from unexpected loss, it is expected to foster the growth of this market.

COVID-19 scenario analysis

The rise in COVID-19 cases around the world is causing an economic slowdown. The pandemic has a significant impact on developed countries. Businesses in most countries have suffered as a result of partial or total lockdowns. This, in turn, is expected to have an adverse effect on the title insurance market in the coming years.
Furthermore, during lockdowns, many people shifted from big cities to their hometowns due to closure of offices, which resulted in the increase in purchase of new properties in small towns. This, as a result, had a positive impact on the title insurance market.  

Top impacting factors: market scenario analysis, trends, drivers, and impact analysis

Higher transparency due to the adoption of digitalization and increase in the real estate business is driving the growth of the market. However, lack of awareness and changes in exposure and claims experience are expected to hamper the growth of the market. Contrarily, SMEs, which is the fastest growing segment, backed by increasing online presence can be seen as an opportunity for the market. 

The title insurance market trends are as follows:

Changes in exposure and claims experience:

The insurance market's exposure patterns have shifted dramatically in recent years. Several coverages have been removed from basic insurance plans. During the pandemic, various business sectors were forced to shut down by their respective countries' governments for an extended period of time, which hampered business growth. Therefore, insurers have observed an increase in the number of claims. As a result of increased claims, the insurance department has become more active and strict in handling claims. Therefore, changes in exposure and claim experience are expected to hamper the growth of the market.

SMEs growing segment backed by increasing online presence:

With the growing number of data frauds, breaches, and thefts in companies to protect the property title of business, demand for title insurance could be raised in the near future. Moreover, the number of SME startups among the consumer segment is growing tremendously, and property acquisitions are increasing by new start-ups. So, to protect businesses from fraud, demand for title issuance is rising, and similarly, online presence and details of documents are expected to create a lucrative opportunity for the SME insurance market in the coming years.
