Event summary

Nearmap launched Portfolio Benchmarking on September 22, 2026, expanding its Portfolio Intelligence offering for P&C insurers.

Portfolio Benchmarking provides market context at state, county, ZIP code, and neighborhood levels for risk assessment and growth strategies.
A super-regional carrier in the Northeast used Nearmap data to negotiate an 8% PML reduction and $7M in annual reinsurance premium savings.

The big picture

Nearmap's Portfolio Benchmarking addresses a critical gap in the insurance industry: the lack of market context for portfolio risk assessment. By providing a data-backed view of portfolios relative to broader market conditions, the tool enables insurers to make more informed decisions on underwriting, reinsurance, and growth strategies. This expansion positions Nearmap as a key player in the property intelligence space, particularly as insurers increasingly rely on geospatial data to manage risk and optimize performance.
