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 by the NAIC 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: personal auto, commercial auto, workers’ compensation, medical professional liability, homeowners, and other liability (excluding auto liability) insurance.
The state of the P&C insurance marketplace in the U.S.
As of March 2020, with approximately 84.62% of Property & Casualty insurers having reported, the Direct Premiums Written for all lines of business is $623,639,809,558.
