Market Outlook 2026

American Global is pleased to present our 2026 Market Outlook. This guide is designed to provide practical insight into the evolving construction landscape and related insurance/surety considerations that continue to shape contractor performance and risk strategy.

The report takes a look at current market trends, dynamics and disruptors while outlining expectations for the year ahead from both a global macroeconomic perspective and highlights specific US, Canada and European details. We provide forecasts, by product line, for insurance as well as SDI, as well as an analysis of and outlook for the Surety Markets. Claims commentary about the impact of nuclear verdicts and how they are disproportionately affecting the construction industry closes out the report before final thoughts.

We hope you find this Market Outlook helpful and urge you to reach out to American Global to discuss how we can help you successfully navigate the ever-evolving construction landscape with clarity and confidence.
