Highlights

Businesses have increasingly incorporated more technology and expensive equipment as standard, resulting in the rise of average value of claims over the past few years, as the potential ""loss per square foot"" for a property is said to increase.
Premium rates are not expected to increase adequately in the near term, and due to the volume of reserve releases over the past few years, it is suspected that the level of reserves held by commercial property insurers is depleting.
In 2009, RSA is estimated to have witnessed growth in its UK commercial property insurance gross written premiums (GWP) of 3.1%, resulting in a 0.6 percentage point increase in market share to 14.4%. This is in comparison to a drop in market share as experienced by most of the other top commercial property insurers.
