Conning Insurance Industry Outlook - 2026



Price : $2,750.00



The 2026 Industry Outlook is Conning’s flagship annual research report offering a forward‑looking examination of the U.S. insurance landscape at a moment defined by economic moderation, regulatory shifts, and accelerating structural change. This year’s theme, strategic adaptation, frames the report’s core message: in 2026, insurers must evolve rapidly, make smarter, data‑driven decisions, and build operating models capable of thriving amid uncertainty rather than relying on traditional cycles.

Inside, the report explores how modest GDP growth, softening employment trends, persistent but easing inflation, and evolving investment opportunities will shape both P&C and life‑annuity performance. It highlights widening dispersion in P&C results, the rise of secondary‑peril losses, the intensifying role of private credit, and the convergence of product, investment, and capital strategies in L&A. It also examines heightened regulatory scrutiny, the expansion of cyber insurance, the emergence of casualty ILS, and the transformative potential of in‑plan guaranteed income and medical breakthroughs like GLP‑1 therapies.

This publication is essential for insurance executives, strategists, investment leaders, and distribution partners seeking to stay ahead of market dynamics. Readers looking to understand—not just observe—the forces reshaping profitability, competition, and risk in 2026 will find this a must‑open, insight‑rich guide to navigating the year ahead.
