Forecasting Voluntary Sales Spotlight™ Report

Cost: $2,500; published 2022

Carriers, brokers and other industry professionals rely on voluntary market forecasts to inform their business plans and determine what investments to make and where. Eastbridge published reports on market forecasts in 2016, 2018 and 2021. We would not normally publish this report again this year, but because the forecasts in the 2021 report were so heavily dependent on the actual results for 2021, we are updating the forecasts for 2022.

The Forecasting Voluntary Sales Spotlight™ Report analyzes the current sales environment and future potential sales for the voluntary market. The projections in this report are based on our current views of the sales environment. We offer four different scenarios for consideration.

Specifically, the report looks at:

• The history of sales and other forecasts for the voluntary market
• Background information on the voluntary market and distribution
• Different methodologies for forecasting
• Actual forecasts for the future using different forecasting methods
• Other market influences

With this report information, carriers can develop their own predictions for future opportunities in voluntary sales. The objective of the report is to offer a platform for discussion within companies so they can develop their own views, as opposed to adopting Eastbridge’s forecasts as fact.
