The fire and theft segment was valued at USD 77.75 billion in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Fire insurance includes property insurance that covers damage and losses caused by fire. Homeowners mostly prefer to purchase additional coverage in case their property is lost or damaged because of fire. Purchasing additional fire coverage helps to cover the cost of replacement, repair, or reconstruction of property above the limit set by the property insurance policy. Fire insurance policies typically contain general exclusions such as war, nuclear risks, and similar perils. Similarly, theft insurance covers the cost of stolen or damaged assets such as cash, owned goods, and other items. These policies are offered to house owners, leaving them reassured and relieved of financial losses or leaving the property unattended for an extended period. Hence, due to the above-mentioned factors, the adoption of fire and theft insurance is increasing, which is expected to fuel the growth of the fire and theft segment in the global market during the forecast period.
A captive agent who works only for one insurance firm is known as a captive agent.

Moreover, they have good client repo as they spend more time on relationship building, fact-finding, and customer service. Thus, these factors increase the adoption of captive agents for field work to sell insurance to consumers. Such factors are expected to fuel the growth of the captive segment in the global market during the forecast period.

The focused market in North America will grow moderately during the forecast period. This will be mainly because the highest number of claims for catastrophic damage came from North America. This will raise the demand for reinsurance policies for the housing segments in North America. During a catastrophe or calamity, the losses are huge in terms of damage to individual property such as houses. The insured party claims for losses incurred during such calamities, and when the number of claims is massive, the insurance vendor turns to reinsurers for the capital. Hence, the market in North America is expected to grow at a moderate rate during the forecast period.

Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year and the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The rising number of natural disasters and man-made hazards is the main reason behind opting for homeowner's insurance. The rise in the demand for home insurance on accidents such as interior or exterior home damage, damage to assets or injury, theft, and fire puts pressure on insurance companies to invest and develop such products that have less proliferation, high coverage, and provide financial security in the form of medical injury or any other damages, which boosts the growth of the global market. Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, vandalism, and landslides have led to a surge in the demand for house insurance in recent years. The majority of homeowners rely on house insurance to protect themselves against potential financial losses caused by harm to other people's property, family members, and pets. Moreover, home insurance includes coverage, which helps to compensate policyholders of the family members after his/her death. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
New technological developments in the home insurance industry is a major trend. The advancement of technology such as geo-location, application program interface (API), artificial intelligence (Al), data analytics, blockchain, and big data opens up new avenues for insurers in the industry. With these technological advancements, home insurance distribution systems are projected to increase productivity in delivering diverse covers such as additional living expenses (ALE), Renter's insurance, and others at the point of purchase. Furthermore, digital transformation allows home insurance firms to provide highly individualized user experiences to their clients. Furthermore, to preserve their market position in the global market, insurers are investigating the use of big data analytics, which have the potential to generate substantial premiums. Furthermore, technology aid in data collecting, meeting client demands, calculating risks, and detecting fraud. Hence, easy accessibility and convenient home insurance offerings through technological advancements are expected to fuel the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
Vulnerability to cybercrimes is a major challenge in the market. At present, the world is becoming digital and going online to avail diverse benefits such as better-organized data, easy availability of data, multi-screen/multi-device access, efficient handling of client's data, and ease of management. Advances in technology are encouraging online and on-device data storage. The industry relies more on technology, including processing systems, online data, and electronic communications, for ease of business and management. However, the same advances in technology also make data vulnerable to cybercrimes. The incidents of cybercrime include hacking of computers and in-house software as well as intrusion into the intranet portals. The reinsurance industry can be affected by the misappropriation of data on the device or the cloud and then selling the client's confidential information to competitors. Any cybersecurity failure or misuse of data can expose the organization's information to hackers. It can also result in a huge monetary loss, and hence, the problem needs to be addressed at the source. For instance, as a result of silent cyber exposure, the insurance and reinsurance business made a loss of USD 2.7 billion from the Petya/NotPetya cyber-attack. Silent cyber exposures can take place when other sorts of insurance or reinsurance products fail to eliminate cyber risks, which possibly will lead to an accumulation of cyber losses. Such factors may hamper the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
