Explanation:

When a purchaser of insurance wants to make a purchase he analyses the market to get a favourable condition that reduces risk and loss.

The market condition can be a soft market or hard market.

Soft market is one in which potential sellers are more than potential buyers. So supply exceeds demand. Buyers are able to buy affordable insurance.

Hard market on the other hand is when there is an upswing in market cycle. Premiums increase and capacity for insurance decreases.

It is more difficult to get affordable insurance in this market
