Demand for structured reinsurance is strong ahead of the January 2026 renewals, driven by high retentions exposing carriers to volatility. Industry experts note that cedants are increasingly seeking multiyear structured covers to protect earnings. Despite reinsurers being cautious, there is growing interest in structured solutions, particularly in Europe, to manage risks associated with climate change. Reinsurers like Hannover Re and Scor are focusing on this segment for growth, with Scor reporting a significant increase in premium income from alternative solutions.
