The 2026 insurance research roll-up
What the year's research on property and casualty insurance actually found — the regulators, institutes, consultancies and the market itself, each summarised down to its findings.
How this list is built
Entries are drawn from the audit trail behind the Canadian P&C research — every source in it has already been read and used for a specific claim, so nothing here is a link collected on reputation alone. The summaries are ours. Figures are quoted as the publisher states them, in the publisher's own units and currency, and each entry names its publication date so you can tell a current reading from a stale one.
The list is deliberately not exhaustive. A source earns a place by carrying a number, a method or a framing that changed how we read the market — not by being the most recent thing published. Where a source is Tier 2 and still load-bearing, the entry says what would replace it.
The tier on each entry is the house source standard, the same one the Canadian P&C research is audited against. Tier 1 is regulators, official statistics, rating agencies, research institutes, named consulting research, audited financials and public-company disclosure — quotable on its own. Tier 2 is trade press, market-data resellers and vendor research: useful for direction and dating, never the sole support for a figure.
