PERILS Industry Exposure Database 2026
PERILS has today released the PERILS Industry Exposure Database 2026 (IED 2026). The database contains up-to-date market sums insured exposed to natural perils for 21 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey and the United Kingdom. The market sums insured are available by CRESTA zone, Property and Motor lines of business, occupancy and coverage types. The in-force date of the exposure data is 1 January 2026.
IED’s are an essential part in understanding the natural catastrophe risk in an insurance market. They can be used for estimating potential market losses and serve as a basis for the pricing of industry-loss-based risk transfer products. Together with the PERILS industry loss database, they also serve in assessing the vulnerability of insured assets towards natural hazards. For more information, please see the attached press release.
We thank our insurance partners for providing us with their most up-to-date exposure information to create the new IEDs.
