The Argo Industry Pulse Index (AIPI) is a new way to measure a rapidly shifting market: a quarterly snapshot of industry data, key indicators and concise expert analysis. No single trend tells the whole story. But taken together, they reveal the market’s pulse – and point to where the future may be headed.
- The index translates 39 indicators into a scale that registers the state of the market. Higher values indicate strong economic activity, while lower values suggest slower demand and investment.
- Q2 2026 saw exceptionally high profitability – with a catch. Other variables suggest a soft market is in play.
- Market pressures are pushing the industry into a soft phase. As the industry cycles through a competitive phase, consumer confidence dips to its lowest level since Argo began tracking data in 2018.
Use the index to stay informed on market trends and potential coverage impacts.
