The Top 10 P&C Insurers Have a Combined Market Share of 47.90%
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 past iterations, 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.
Once collected, the data is compiled into a report listing the 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).
With approximately 97.92% of P&C insurers reporting, the industry recorded approximately $1.06 trillion in Direct Premiums Written in 2024. The top 10 P&C insurers account for 51.40% of the total market share, reflecting a continued concentration of market share among the largest carriers.
Private passenger auto insurance remains the dominant line of business, with $344.11 billion in direct premiums written, representing approximately 35% of all reported P&C premiums.
