MA Market Share Report 2019: The Top 20 Writers of Commercial Auto Insurance

June 18, 2019 by Agency Checklists

The largest commercial auto insurers in Massachusetts


Continuing with our top ten lists, and in light of our bi-monthly look at the latest CAR Data, the next installment of our Massachusetts Market Share Report for 2019 focuses on the commercial auto insurance marketplace. As just a reminder, all of our information comes courtesy of the Division of Insurance and includes data from 2017, the last year for which complete information is available.

Seventy-nine (79) commercial auto insurers stopped writing this line of insurance in Massachusetts from 2016 to 2017

There were 270 insurers writing commercial auto insurance in 2016. In 2017, however, the Division of Insurance notes that only 191 companies wrote this line of insurance in 2017.

This is the one of the few lines of business dominated by Massachusetts-based insurers

Similar to the private passenger and homeowner’s marketplace, commercial auto is part of the big three – the major lines of insurance dominated by Massachusetts-based insurers. In fact, looking at the chart below, all of the top five writers in this line are Massachusetts-based entities.

Premium and market share for this line of business

Some more data that you might find useful in understanding the commercial auto insurance marketplace: 

  • The Total Direct Written Premium for all 191 insurers in 2017 was $855,021,922
  • The top 20 insurers enjoy a 67.7% share of the marketplace
  • Total Direct Written Premium for the top 20 writers totaled $578,620,204 in 2017
  • The remaining 171 companies claimed Total Direct Written Premium of $276,401,718 representing a 32.3% market share
