Swiss Re helps insurers and direct clients to shoulder risks through re/insurance and other solutions. Risk is our raw material. What we create is opportunity.
Recovery is only part of the resilience story. Measures that reduce risk before disaster strikes can help lower losses, support insurability and strengthen resilience over time. Read the latest sigma insights ๐ ow.ly/XgWj50Z9q49
๐ฌ Screening improves cancer outcomes, but uptake varies widely. Cervical screening ranges from 70โ80% in some countries to below 50% in others. Access alone is not enough. Awareness and participation are major bottlenecks. ow.ly/5nWb50Z19lR
The natural catastrophe protection gap widened to an estimated USD 424bn in 2025.
Not because protection is shrinking. Because exposure is growing. Learn more โก๏ธ ow.ly/bHSl50Z6EvE
๐ฌ Gaps remain in cancer detection. About 70% of US cancer deaths are linked to cancers without screening. New approaches like MCED and AI aim to detect cancers earlier, before a patient is symptomatic. Learn more ๐ ow.ly/ESeM50Z19at
โกThe electric vehicle story is no longer just about adoption. Beyond innovation, the future of mobility may depend on how vehicles are repaired and insured. Read more: ow.ly/V2g850Z61Rv
๐ฌ Overdiagnosis highlights a potential downside of increasingly sensitive cancer detection. Around 76% of thyroid cancer cases globally are linked to overdiagnosis, underscoring the need to balance early detection with unnecessary intervention. ow.ly/nxw650Z3fZw
๐ฌ Early detection is transforming cancer outcomes. New tests, biomarkers and AI are opening possibilities for earlier diagnosis and improving survival. Cancer risk is evolving with higher incidence and more complex claims. Learn more: ow.ly/uLvi50Z15ak
Why are disaster losses rising? Stronger storms are only part of the story.
Exposure expansion drives over 80 percent of the increase in insured nat cat losses, which have grown 5 to 7 percent per year after inflation. Explore the latest sigma insights: ow.ly/bo8b50Ywenw
๐ฌ Cancer is more frequently diagnosed, yet more survivable than before.
Earlier detection and better diagnostics are improving survival. For insurers, this means a fundamental shift with higher incidence, earlier diagnosis and longer duration risk.

The global mortality protection gap is at a record high ๐ ow.ly/5fZy50YKgzG
Despite improvements in coverage, protection levels remain below where they were a decade ago. Inflation, higher debt and growing income replacement requirements are driving the gap.
Swiss Re shareholders approved all proposals at todayโs AGM, including a dividend of USD 8.00 per share and the election of Jean-Jacques Henchoz to the Board of Directors. Read more: ow.ly/OkyY50YH7FM
As populations age, cancer cases in older adults will surge, even as survival improves. More people are living longer with ongoing health needs.
For insurers, this reshapes mortality and morbidity.

As we mark #WorldHealthDay, itโs worth recognising the role of behaviour in health outcomes.
๐ฅOur UK disability insurance pilot shows a nutrition-first approach can improve metabolic health, support recovery, and enable a return to work.

Cancerโs age profile is shifting. In many countries, diagnoses before 50 are rising as fast as, or faster than, those among older groups.
For insurers, this means longer survivorship, prolonged treatment and evolving morbidity risk. Learn more: ow.ly/nUTu50YsIRY
Cancer diagnoses in people under 50 are rising across countries. Is this just earlier detection or a generational shift in lifetime risk?
Metabolic ill health and early-life exposures may be key drivers.

At Insurtech Insights Europe, Pravina Ladva reflects on what has changed since last year, noting that AI has had a reality check, with the conversation shifting from excitement about what AI can do to a focus on driving value.
