Willis (NASDAQ:WTW) says energy insurance market softening continued into 2026, with upstream classes delivering insurer profitability after another year of low loss activity and downstream experiencing around US$3.5 billion of losses so far this cycle.

Six of eight major losses this year occurred in the US, pressuring US-exposed clients. Trends to watch for 2026 include subsea capacity restrictions, upstream construction placement strategies, reinsurer top-up layer behaviour, and liability risks from US social inflation and new European class-action rules.

Capacity is provided by the Natural Disaster Fund with support from Hannover Re and Global Parametrics; PCIC may scale the product nationally if the pilot succeeds.
