Guidehouse Insights Anticipates the Cyber Insurance Market for Energy to Grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of Nearly 18% by 2030

BOULDER, Colo., March 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report from Guidehouse Insights reviews cyber risk across the energy industry and looks at the market drivers and barriers associated with cyber insurance policy underwriting and assessment. 

Cyber insurance is a nascent area in the global insurance market but has gained traction over the past several years as the rates and costs of cyber incidents continue to increase in frequency and severity. In 2022, ransomware remains the leading cyber threat for businesses. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, the cyber insurance market for energy is anticipated to grow to $441.8 million between 2021 and 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.7%.

"Although the sensitivity of data across the energy industry is less of a concern, the potential for prolonged business interruptions and cyber physical impacts from cyber access and exploitation remain high," says Michael Kelly, senior research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. "In the energy industry, cyberattack severity can be high, and likelihood can be low, but the risk that a cyber incident can be catastrophic remains."

According to the report, the uncertainty of cyberattacks, accumulation risk, liability issues, and more have seeped into the ability to understand and price cyber insurance policies. Over the next several years, leading insurance providers will likely work diligently to tackle these hurdles and promote enhanced understanding of the problem set for cyber coverage to make cyber insurance increasingly profitable for their businesses.

The report, Cyber Insurance for the Energy Industry, reviews cyber risk across the energy industry and the market drivers and barriers associated with cyber insurance policy underwriting and assessment. Premium amounts in the projected data are determined by average premiums per segment per region, with penetration rates varying in each segment and region. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.
