The National Association of Insurance Commissioners has issued its annual Market Share Data Reports for both the Property & Casualty Insurance Marketplace, as well as for the Life & Fraternal Insurance Marketplace. As in the past, the data offered here reflects a compiled list of market share data based upon filings of countrywide premium submitted to the NAIC from Property & Casualty insurers as reported on the State Page of the NAIC’s annual statement for insurers.
The data is then compiled and included in various reports on cumulative market share data for the seven major lines of insurance in the United States: All Lines; Private Passenger Personal Auto; Commercial Auto; Workers’ Compensation; Medical Professional Liability; Homeowners’ Multi-Peril, and Other Liability (excluding auto liability).
The Private Passenger Auto Insurance Marketplace is the largest line of insurance
With approximately 98.96% of all filings having been submitted to the NAIC as of March 28, 2022, the total amount of Direct Written Premium for the U.S. insurance industry, All Lines, was $794,346,766,779.
Sitting atop the seven major lines of insurance featured in the NAIC Market Share Report is the Private Passenger Auto insurance marketplace, with a total amount of Direct Written Premiums last year of $260,855,445,840. Total Direct Premiums Earned was $257,731,166,520. Both totals saw an increase from the previous year numbers which were $249,495,199,569 and $250,028,700,042, respectively.
Based on these figures, the U.S. Private Passenger insurance marketplace ranks as the largest line of insurance in the U.S.
Turning the attention to market share, the top 25 insurers dominate the private passenger auto insurance marketplace with a cumulative market share of 88.74%, which includes three Massachusetts-based insurers: Liberty Mutual, The Hanover, and MAPFRE. The Top 10 insurers dominate this marketplace even further with a 76.48% cumulative market share.
