During January 2024, we commissioned research company Opinion Matters to survey the opinions of over 3,500 business leaders and insurance buyers of businesses based in the UK, US, Canada, Singapore, France, Germany and Spain with international operations.
Survey participants were asked about their views on insurers and insurance, as well as on four categories of risk:
Of the firms surveyed, there was an equal split of respondents across company sizes of: US$250,000 - US$999,999, US$1m - US$9.99m, US$10m - US$99.99m, US$100m- US$999.99m, US$1 billion plus.
This year’s survey was undertaken between 05.01.24 and 15.01.24. In 2021 the survey was undertaken with respondents based in the UK and US. In 2022 and 2023 the sample base also included respondents based in Canada and Singapore and, in 2024 the sample base was expanded to include respondents in France, Germany and Spain.
