Summary
July 2026 conditions remain favorable for U.S. commercial insurance buyers across most coverage lines, with Lockton calling it one of the most buyer-friendly markets in years.
The quarterly market update says that softening conditions are creating chances to improve program performance and lock in long-term value, but warns buyers not to stay passive.
AI risk, shifting economic conditions and geopolitical uncertainty are highlighted as forces that could reshape pricing and coverage trends in coming months.
Lockton says early engagement, strong data, thoughtful program design and long-term insurer relationships will be critical to turning today's softer market into a more resilient risk strategy.
