Construction insurance market update 2024: Australia

In recent years, the Australian and other global insurance markets experienced a period of significant rate increases. However, in the first half of 2024, insurance premium rates generally stabilised. Most clients with construction risks experienced stable renewals without any major changes or coverage restrictions. Not all insureds fared the same however, as insurers remained cautious in certain areas of risk.

Marsh’s industry specific market updates take a deep dive into the state of the market throughout the first half of 2024, including local market insights and outlook, coverage and pricing trends, insurer appetite, market influences, as well as tips on how to maximise renewal outcomes.
