The escalating incidences of explosions and associated harm in industries are propelling the boiler insurance market. Boilers, which are sealed containers utilized to heat water and generate steam for industrial uses, operate at elevated temperatures and necessitate careful handling. In certain cases, a failure to follow safety measures can result in boiler explosions. These terrifying events can lead to severe financial burdens for businesses, a situation alleviated by boiler insurance. Citing a report from Hans India, an Indian media company, in January 2022, an alarming figure of 23,000 boiler accidents occurred worldwide in the last decade, with 34% of fatality cases from India alone. As such, the surge in explosions and associated damage is boosting the boiler insurance market.
