Geopolitical instability, including conflict and policy changes, has overtaken supply chain disruption as the dominant risk for global construction firms, causing 31% of clients to reconsider or relocate projects. Brokers face a live opportunity to address shifting risks like political violence and trade credit, especially as over half of firms consider self-insurance due to gaps in current coverage.
