- Swiss Re projects global data-center insurance premiums will likely reach $20 billion–$30 billion per year by 2030.
- Approximately 40% of US data-center capacity is located in tornado-prone areas, a geographic concentration risk flagged by Swiss Re.
- AI hyperscale data centers face a wide array of potential threats during the construction phase, according to the analysis.
Why it matters: A potential 2030 premium pool of $20B–$30B signals that insurers view AI-era data-center buildouts as materially riskier than past infrastructure cycles, with nearly half of US capacity sitting in tornado-exposed regions that could amplify claims after a single severe-weather event.
