Surety involves a contractual agreement where a surety commits to ensuring the performance and obligations of a principal to a third party. This mechanism is designed to ensure that contractors, businesses, and individuals uphold their commitments, such as completing projects and settling debts. The surety provides assurance that the obligee will receive compensation if the principal fails to meet their contractual duties or obligations.
The principal categories of bonds in the surety market include contract surety bonds, commercial surety bonds, fidelity surety bonds, and court surety bonds. A contract surety bond specifically guarantees that a contractor will meet their contractual obligations, covering project completion and payment to subcontractors and suppliers. These bonds are applied in various contexts, including government agencies and enterprises, and are utilized by a range of end users, including businesses, contractors, construction firms, government entities, suppliers, service providers, and individuals.

The surety market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $18.38 billion in 2023 to $19.62 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to several factors such as increased construction activities, expanded infrastructure development, enhanced construction industry standards, innovations within the construction sector, rising private sector investments, and the expansion of real estate development.
The surety market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.6 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The projected growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors such as rising demand for construction projects, stricter government regulations, an increase in infrastructure projects, greater adoption of technology in underwriting, and a growing number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Key trends anticipated in this period include the adoption of digital platforms, advancements in risk management tools, automated underwriting processes, improvements in digital verification methods, and enhancements in fraud detection technology.
The growing use of digital payment services is expected to significantly drive the growth of the surety market. Digital payment services involve the use of electronic channels and mobile devices to facilitate online monetary transactions. The rise in smartphone usage, improved internet access, advanced security measures, and user convenience are key factors driving the adoption of digital payments. Surety services play a crucial role by providing financial guarantees that ensure the performance and reliability of service providers, protecting users from potential losses due to fraud, service disruptions, or non-compliance with contractual obligations. For example, in February 2023, the Ministry of Electronics & IT, an India-based government ministry, reported that the total value of digital transactions amounted to 8,840 crore ($1.056 billion) in 2021-2022 and reached 9,192 crore ($1.097 billion) by December 2022. This growth in digital payment usage is driving the surety market forward.
Leading companies in the surety market are focusing on developing surety insurance to enhance financial security and address the growing demand for risk management solutions. Surety insurance, or surety bonds, provides a financial guarantee that obligations will be met, offering protection and assurance to parties involved in transactions and contracts. For instance, in July 2024, ICICI Lombard, an India-based insurance company, introduced surety insurance to provide financial guarantees that ensure contractors fulfill their obligations. This new product allows for greater financial flexibility and supports larger projects by offering both conditional and unconditional options, advanced risk management, and freeing up banking lines. Its introduction is a significant development in the surety insurance market, addressing the infrastructure sector's need for effective risk mitigation and enabling businesses to secure larger, high-value contracts.
In June 2024, Core Specialty, a US-based insurance company, acquired American Surety Company for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Core Specialty's position in specialty insurance by incorporating American Surety as its 17th business unit. The acquisition expands Core Specialty's bond, credit, and guarantee sub-segment with new product lines, such as bail bonds and commercial surety bonds, enhancing its market presence and supporting its goal of leading in the profitable surety market. American Surety is a US-based company that provides surety bonds and insurance services.
