The first of the two-volume report focuses on the resources and regulatory activities of the 56 NAIC-member jurisdictions including the 50 states, in addition to U.S. territories like Guam and Puerto Rico. The report is organized into five different sections:

  • Staffing;
  • Budget and Funding;
  • Examination and Oversight;
  • Insurance Producers; and
  • Consumer Services and Antifraud.

The following are three key highlights from the overall report which takes a look at the year 2021, the last year for which full data is available. The full report which contains many more data points can be obtained from the NAIC:

  • There were 5,978 domestic U.S. insurers in 2021.
  • Revenues collected increased 2.7% to $29.8 billion in 2021.
  • State insurance departments received over 259,345 official complaints and 1.5 million inquiries.
