Below, we’ve handpicked the key insights analysed in the full report and summarised the core topics.
High inflation has driven up domestic property insurance premiums, placing additional financial strain on households. Mortgage holders in particular have been hit by rising interest rates alongside rising premiums. The difficult economic environment will see more customers opting out of auto-renewals and shopping around for better deals.
Reward loyalty
Rising premiums have seen more policyholders shopping around at renewal and looking to price comparison sites for better deals. There is an opportunity to boost loyalty through strong customer service, including regular communication to ensure policies remain appropriate at a time when people’s circumstances may be changing.
Technological innovation
As ownership of smart home technology rises, insurers need to offer policies that reflect the added security benefits through lower premiums. Smart home technology can also help to provide evidence and speed up the claims process.

Premium inflation has supported market growth but there remains a need to engage a generation of renters with contents cover.

Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.
It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.
Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.
When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.
The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.
At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.
We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.
As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.
We use Mintel to get a view on where a particular market is going, which can support us in product development and help us identify opportunities or indeed risks, it is a very useful barometer of a market’s potential.
When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.
They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.
So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.
From consumer reports to customised growth strategies. We have an option to suit your business requirements.
