The global surety market is expected to grow to over $28 billion by the year 2027, up from $15.33 billion in 2018. The growth of nearly 100% is expected due to the imminent replacement of ageing infrastructure from public owners in developed countries who have neglected to replace it previously.
Fewer skilled professionals entering the industry is currently holding the industry back, as well as banks further suppressing the industry’s rate of growth.
The biggest rate of surety market penetration is in North America due to the United States, which will have to replace massive amounts of infrastructure in the near future.
Contract surety is the leading segment of the overall global surety bond market. Contract surety bid and performance/payment bonds are particularly popular in public construction projects. These bonds protect against the contractor being unable to take on the contract at the bid entered, guarantees that the project will be performed satisfactorily, and ensures that all subcontractors and materials will be paid and paid for respectively.
