Latest news and insights

Precious metals now play a critical role in several emerging industries, providing a core component in everything from AI-powered microchips to booming clean energy infrastructure. It’s therefore no surprise the global precious metals market is projected to grow from USD 323.71 billion in 2024 to USD 501.09 billion by 2032, according to a study by Fortune Business Insights.

These growth opportunities have attracted investors. Despite falling prices for most critical minerals throughout 2023, GlobalData’s Mining M&A report noted that total mining M&A value exceeded $121bn in 2023 – a 75% increase compared to the previous year. Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) insurance products in the UK, and Reps and Warranties Insurance (RWI) products in the US, regularly assist in M&A processes, but they are particularly useful tool in the mining sector.

Space insurance: the promise of in-orbit repair

The market for insuring satellites in orbit has seen many developments, but space itself continues to be a challenging environment. The satellites we launch to space must survive years of intense solar radiation, damaging vacuum conditions and temperatures ranging from minus 150C to plus 200C. This means that sometimes – despite careful design, highly-regulated manufacturing, and stringent testing - parts can fail.The market for insuring satellites in orbit has seen many developments, but space itself continues to be a challenging environment.
