Market Growth Factors

Driven by increasing targeted cyberattacks on businesses in the UAE, coupled with high-profile attacks such as ransomware, data breaches, and phishing attempts, there is a rising demand for advanced cyber risk protection solutions in the public and private sectors. UAE information assurance and other regulations demand stricter cybersecurity and incident response protocols, creating a need for more bespoke cyber insurance products and increasing market adoption. The growing use of cloud and digital payments has also expanded organizations' attack surfaces, and the entry of startups and SMEs, which were previously uninsured or under-insured, creates a wider market for insurers. Demand for data loss, business interruption, and other legal liability coverage has encouraged specialized providers to offer industry-specific insurance products.

In the UAE, the cyber insurance market is being driven by digital transformation. UAE national strategies for artificial intelligence, smart cities and digital banking have all driven increased technology adoption and increased cyber exposure. The growing volume of investment in digital infrastructure across key sectors is driving the insuring of many different types of technology, from IoT (Internet of Things) networks and remote workers to dynamic systems. Policy modularity is increasing due to client demand for risk-appropriate coverage, and factors such as cyber insurance bundled into vendor contracts, mergers, and client compliance schemes are contributing to increased market penetration. The risk models also improve with machine learning and other AI techniques, as real-time analysis of threats helps the insurers keep up with emerging risks and deliver increasingly interactive, service-oriented products.

The UAE's Vision 2031 to build an advanced digital economy is fostering the growth of the cyber insurance market, which is a key enabler under the vision. Cyber insurance is gaining traction as a core component of operational resilience with corporates seeking to incorporate it in their business continuity plans. There has been broker/insurer demand for service-based and interactive responses to breaches, e.g. incident response planning and post-breach recovery. Local insurers also package services from cybersecurity firms; they offer products beyond pure indemnity. The cyber insurance sector in the UAE is rapidly evolving, driven by increasing regulation, a rise in digital transformation initiatives, improving consumer sophistication and innovative insurers.
