This report tracks the health and shape of the employers' liability market - taking into account market size, profitability, performance ratios, and the claims environment. The UK's economic growth, business landscape, and COVID-19 are all taken into consideration to build a full picture of this space. Key shifts in the market and likely future changes are analyzed for impact across all relevant stakeholders.
This market is more closely aligned to developments in the UK economy compared to other insurance lines. As the economy began to recover from the pandemic in 2022, the employers' liability market was estimated to have grown by 7.1%, with inflation, in particular, a key factor. However, the reliance on the economy is problematic for the sector, as the UK is likely headed towards a recession, which will bring the economy to a standstill for much of 2023. The unemployment rate in the UK is increasing as more firms struggle with factors such as inflation and global supply chain issues putting pressure on profitability. The market is directly reliant on the number of businesses and employees in the UK, so this will have a negative impact on premiums.
