Insights
Updated 24 Aug 2026Swiss Re is operating in a market where commercial insurance pricing is softening overall. Global commercial insurance rates fell by an average of 6% in the second quarter of 2026, according to Marsh. Yet the picture is uneven. Property and cyber cover are getting cheaper on average, while casualty rates rose, and insurers are still selective on catastrophe-exposed buildings, hazardous operations, and accounts with poor claims histories.
That mix points to a competitive environment where insurers remain disciplined on risk selection even as headline rates ease. For Swiss Re, the broader trend suggests a market balancing price pressure in some lines with continued caution in higher-risk exposures, rather than a uniform down-cycle across all commercial cover.
