Global Insurance Market Index

Commercial insurance pricing increases continue to moderate

Global commercial insurance pricing rose 4% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 6% in the prior quarter, according to the Marsh Global Insurance Market Index. The overall pace of pricing increases slowed for the eighth consecutive quarter; increases peaked at 22% in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The fourth quarter was the twenty-first consecutive in which composite pricing rose, continuing the longest run of increases since the inception of the index in 2012. The quarter’s pricing moderation was driven largely by a 6% decrease in financial and professional lines and the continued moderation in cyber pricing.
