Buyers market seen for pollution cover; increased demand, more expertise add up to growth for mature market

Insurance brokers and providers of pollution liability insurance claim that pollution coverage is a buyer's market. As the market has grown and matured, underwriters have developed greater facility in tailoring and marketing pollution liability insurance policies. Policies are now more adaptive and creative, and buyer's can find new types of coverage, higher limits and more competitive pricing. However, despite the maturation of the market, many businesses still self-insure their pollution liability exposure.
