Based in part on a survey of 77 actual and potential distributors, Home Emergency Insurance and Assistance in Poland is a report plus an associated PartnerBASE™ dataset and market data file about the market for this type of cover in Poland. In essence, the term ‘home emergency insurance and assistance’ encompasses prepaid policies that are sold on a stand-alone basis, or bundled with utility services, household / landlord insurance or banking products, that cover at least one or more of the following home-related problems:

1. malfunctioning of gas boilers, gas supply pipes, gas central heating or air conditioning;

2. problems with plumbing, drainage or water supply pipes;

3. electrical emergencies or breakdowns.

Demand for such prepaid cover among both consumers and landlords is likely to rise in future not only because of growth in the number of insurable properties but also as a result of the increase in popularity of smart home devices that can be linked automatically with home assistance networks.
