Added Jun 23, 2026
Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and severe, straining claim capacity, distorting pricing models, and forcing the industry to absorb costs that aren't yet baked in.
Analysis:
The structural increase in catastrophe frequency creates demand for real-time risk monitoring, parametric insurance products, and climate-adaptive underwriting models. This is a generational problem that will spawn multiple large companies across the risk value chain.
