During economic downturns or recessions, businesses may experience financial difficulties, increasing the risk of payment defaults and insolvencies. These challenging economic conditions can lead to an elevated number of claims in the trade credit insurance market, impacting the insurer’s profitability and potentially leading to premium increase. Furthermore, changing global trade dynamics, geopolitical tensions, or trade disputes can also disrupt international trade flows and impact the creditworthiness of businesses. Uncertainty in trade relationships or the imposition of trade barriers can introduce additional risks, posing challenges for insurers to accurately assess and price policies.
The COVID-19 pandemic had impacted the global trade dynamics including trade credit insurance. Due to the pandemic, governments were forced to seal international borders and temporarily close markets, industries, and other public places in 2020. Manufacturing plant closures resulted in revenue losses for businesses, leading many major corporations to bankruptcy. Disruptions in the supply chain hampered global sales and trade, lowering the demand for trade credit insurance in 2020. However, during these uncertainties, many businesses turned to trade credit insurance to protect their trading risks and continue business with confidence.
Trade credit insurance protects businesses from economic and political risks that can jeopardize their financial situation. The benefits of trade credit insurance policies, such as protection of accounts receivable from the loss caused by bankruptcy or credit risks including extended default, are driving product adoption globally. Furthermore, rising strategic initiatives among market players, such as partnerships, collaborations, and acquisitions, are expected to fuel market growth.

Furthermore, market participants such as Allianz Trade provide trade credit insurance designed specifically for large enterprises to protect their cash flow and receivables. Large enterprises trade in huge volumes of sales with long payment terms, where the risk of non-payment is high, thereby prompting them to implement trade credit insurance policies.
