Allianz Risk Barometer 2025: Business interruption top business risk in Asia

By
Laotian Times
-

  • Companies identify Business interruption as their top business concern for the year ahead (37% of overall responses)
  • Cyber ranks #2 (31%), with data breaches identified as the cyber exposure companies fear most
  • Natural catastrophes retain #3 rank (27%) in Asia, which is heating up faster than the global average

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 January 2025 – Business interruption is the biggest worry for Asian companies in 2025, according to the Allianz Risk Barometer. Cyber incidents such as data breaches or ransomware attacks, and IT disruptions, such as the CrowdStrike incident, are also a main concern for companies of all sizes, ranking #2. After another heavy year of Natural catastrophes activity in 2024 this peril remains #3.

The top three risks globally – Cyber incidents (#1), Business interruption (#2), and Natural catastrophes (#3) – retained their positions in this year’s Allianz Risk Barometer, which is based on the insights of more than 3,700 risk management professionals from over 100 countries.

Allianz Commercial Chief Underwriting Officer Vanessa Maxwell comments: “2024 was an extraordinary year in terms of risk management and the results of our annual Allianz Risk Barometer reflect the uncertainty many companies around the globe are facing right now. What stands out this year is the interconnectivity of the top risks. Climate change, emerging technology, regulation and geopolitical risks are increasingly intertwined, resulting in a complex network of cause and effect. Businesses need to adopt a holistic approach to risk management and consistently strive to enhance their resilience in order to address these fast-evolving risks.”

Christian Sandric, Regional Managing Director of Allianz Commercial Asia, says, “Business interruption is the most significant risk for companies in the region and this is no surprise as Asian economies are increasingly participating in trade globally and regionally. This is also often due to events like cyber incidents or natural catastrophes, which are part of the top risks in the region. Against this backdrop of an increasingly volatile risk landscape, businesses should ensure they are sufficiently protected and their response measures robust. This includes adopting measures such as loss prevention, developing multiple suppliers, alternative risk transfer, and multinational insurance policies.”

Business interruption strongly interlinked with other risks
Business interruption (BI) is the top risk in Asia; it ranks in the top three risks in all countries and territories, and is the top risk in China and Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea. Its persistence at the top reflects severe supply chain disruption during and after the pandemic.

Such disruptions are of particular concern as Asian economies are increasingly participating in trade. Asia is now the world’s second-most integrated trade region, driven by the rapid growth of manufacturing supply chains across borders. In addition, due to rising US-China tensions, bilateral trade between geopolitically aligned countries has risen. Global trade flows are becoming more intricate and this shift has opened doors for nations like India and Malaysia to step up as next-generation trade hubs, according to Allianz Trade.

Globally, BI has ranked either #1 or #2 in every Allianz Risk Barometer for the past decade and retains its position at #2 in 2025 with 31% of responses. BI is typically a consequence of events like a natural disaster, a cyber-attack or outage, insolvency or political risks like conflict or civil unrest, which can all affect the ability of a business to operate normally. Several examples from 2024 highlight why companies still see BI as a major threat to their business model. Houthi attacks in the Red Sea led to supply chain disruptions due to rerouting of container ships, while incidents such as the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore also directly impacted global and local supply chains. Supply chain disruptions with global effects occur approximately every 1.4 years, and the trend is rising, according to analysis from Circular Republic, in collaboration with Allianz and others. Those disruptions cause major economic damages, ranging up to 5% to 10% of product costs and additional downtime impacts.

Cyber risks continue to increase with rapid development of technology
Cyber incidents rank #2 in Asia; it is the top risk in India for the eighth consecutive year, and the second most significant risk in Japan and Singapore. The Asia Pacific region saw a 23% increase in weekly cyberattacks per organization in Q2 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Some of the cyber incidents around the region include the attack on India’s biggest crypto exchange WazirX, the distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on Japan Airlines, and cyberattack on Singapore law firm Shook Lin & Bok.

Globally, Cyber incidents (38% of overall responses) rank as the most important risk for the fourth year in a row – and by a higher margin than ever (7% points). It is the top peril in 20 countries, including Argentina, France, Germany, India, South Africa, the UK and the US. More than 60% of respondents identified data breaches as the cyber exposure companies fear most, followed by attacks on critical infrastructure and physical assets with 57%.

Natural catastrophes remain a major concern
Natural catastrophes retain its #3 spot in Asia. The region is heating up faster than the global average, with increased casualties and economic losses from floods, storms, and more severe heatwaves. It is the top risk in Japan, which faced a M7.5 earthquake in the Noto Peninsula that resulted in insured losses of US$3bn, with economic losses reaching US$12bn, as well as in Hong Kong, which experienced its heaviest rain in November 2024 since records began 140 years ago due to Typhoon Haikui.

Globally, Natural catastrophes remain at #3 with 29%, although more respondents also picked this as a top risk year-on-year. For the fifth time in a row in 2024, insured losses surpassed US$100bn. 2024 is expected to have been the hottest year on record. It was also a year of terrible natural catastrophes with extreme hurricanes and storms in North America, devastating floods in Europe and Asia and drought in Africa and South America.

SINGAPORE, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Axcynsis Therapeutics Pte Ltd (“Axcynsis”), a privately held biopharmaceutical company specialized in delivering Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) with breakthrough potential, proudly announces the clearance of its Investigational New Drug application (IND) by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of AT03-65 for the treatment of patients with CLDN-6 positive solid tumors. Axcynsis is planning to initiate a Phase 1 multicentre clinical trial in the United States in 1Q 2025.

AT03-65 is a differentiated ADC that selectively binds to CLDN6 with strong affinity. It is enabled by AxcynDOT™, a proprietary payload that incorporates a derivative of an approved oncology therapeutics with unique mechanism of action and broad anti-tumor activity, and coupled with a cleavable and hydrophilic proprietary linker. CLDN6 is overexpressed in many cancers including lung, ovarian, endometrial, uterine, testicular, and gastric cancers while exhibiting minimal expression in normal tissues.  AT03-65 is designed to deliver targeted therapy to improve patient outcomes with advanced or metastatic CLDN6-positive cancers.

“This is a transformational event for Axcynsis and a significant milestone for our proprietary ADC platform using AxcynDOT™,” said Dr. Zou Bin, CEO of Axcynsis. “We are pleased that FDA has cleared AT03-65 which leverages our AxcynDOT™ technology for this first-in-human study.  We are very excited with the potential of offering a transformative therapeutic option for patients with CLDN6-positive tumors as well as advancing our pipeline with  differentiated  and effective ADCs using AxcynDOT™ to improve the lives of cancer patients worldwide”.

The upcoming Phase 1 multicentre clinical trial in the United States will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy of AT03-65 in patients with advanced CLDN6-positive solid tumors.

About AT03-65

AT03-65 is a recombinant anti-CLDN6 monoclonal antibody conjugated to AxcynDOT™, a proprietary payload developed by Axcynsis with a differentiated mechanism of action and broad anti-cancer activities.  AT03-65 is designed to target advanced, recurrent, or metastatic CLDN6+ solid tumors in patients who have progressed on or after standard systemic treatment or for whom no standard therapies are available.

The antibody of AT03-65 is rationally engineered for high affinity and specificity to CLDN6. Upon binding to CLDN6-expressing tumor cells, the ADC is internalized into lysosomes, where it releases its payload to inhibit tumor growth effectively. Preclinical studies demonstrate that AT03-65 not only directly kill CLDN6-positive tumor cells but also exhibits bystander killing effect, targeting neighboring CLDN6-negative tumor cells to enhance its anti-tumor efficacy. AT03-65 has demonstrated promising anti-tumor activities in multiple tumor mouse models and a favorable safety profile in non-human primates.
