The M&A market is expected to be driven by strategic growth, especially in sectors like tech, healthcare, and renewables. However, stricter regulatory environments (especially in the European Union and United States) as well as ongoing economic concerns, such as geopolitical tensions and inflation, may slow down deal processes and add complexity to transactions. As M&A deals become more complex, the demand for warranty and indemnity (W&I) insurance will increase. Increased deal volume and risk perception could lead to higher premiums and stricter terms for W&I insurance.
