Fossil fuels, derived from ancient organic materials such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are used for power and heat generation. Insurance for fossil fuels addresses operational risks, environmental damage, and regulatory compliance. Risk types covered include natural disasters, political risks, and cyber risks, with applications spanning residential and commercial sectors.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a considerable impact on the financial sector, particularly in the areas of investment strategies and risk management. The increased tariffs have intensified market volatility, leading institutional investors to adopt more cautious approaches and driving greater demand for hedging solutions. Banks and asset managers are encountering higher costs in cross-border transactions as disrupted global supply chains and declining corporate earnings weigh on equity market performance. At the same time, insurance providers are facing elevated claims risks linked to supply chain interruptions and trade-related business losses. Furthermore, reduced consumer spending and weaker export demand are limiting credit growth and dampening investment appetite. In response to these challenges, the sector must focus on diversification, accelerate digital transformation, and strengthen scenario planning to manage the heightened economic uncertainty and safeguard profitability.

The renewable energy insurance market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $17.97 billion in 2024 to $18.96 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to government incentives, increased investment, growing awareness, environmental concerns, and financial sector support.
The renewable energy insurance market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.57 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to accelerated renewable energy, climate change mitigation efforts, growing market demand, global energy policy changes, and the and the expansion of insurance products. Major trends in the forecast period include technological innovations, enhanced risk management tools, advancements in data analytics, the integration of climate risk models, and enhanced customer experience.
The forecast of 5.6% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through higher premium costs, as solar panel degradation models and wind turbine performance assessment tools, primarily sourced from Denmark and Spain, face supply chain disruptions and implementation delays. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing demand for energy infrastructure investments is anticipated to drive the expansion of the renewable energy insurance market. Energy infrastructure investments involve allocating capital towards the development, maintenance, and enhancement of facilities and systems responsible for producing, transmitting, and distributing energy. This demand is fueled by increasing global energy consumption driven by population growth and industrialization, necessitating the expansion and modernization of energy systems. Additionally, the transition to renewable energy sources and carbon-reducing policies further propels investments in sustainable energy infrastructure. Renewable energy insurance supports these investments by mitigating financial risks, ensuring project viability, and boosting investor confidence in renewable energy initiatives. For example, in May 2023, the International Energy Agency, a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, reported that annual investment in renewable energy reached $659 billion in 2023, marking a 10.6% increase from $596 billion in 2022. This growing demand for energy infrastructure investments is expected to fuel the growth of the renewable energy insurance market.
