Massachusetts Remains The 14th Largest Insurance Marketplace As Ranked By Total Premium Volume

January 31, 2023 by AC Editor

Statistics about the Massachusetts insurance industry


Volume II takes a look at Aggregate Premium Volume & Premium Volume by Line of Business

Similar to our previous look at the statistics outlined in Volume I, Volume II of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) annual Insurance Department Resources Report (IDRR), focuses on the resources and regulatory activities of the 56 NAIC-member jurisdictions. As mentioned previously, the Report, released in two separate volumes each year, has been published annually for the past 35 years.

Each of the two Volumes focuses on different aspects of Insurance Departments from across the country and is compiled through an extensive survey of each of the NAIC member states. In Volume II, the focus is on “… premium data [as well as providing] …ratios that demonstrate the relationships between the budget, revenue and premium data.”

Finally, it is important to note that all of the statistics included in this article feature data from 2021, the last year for which complete data is available to the NAIC to analyze.

Key Points from the 2023 edition of the Report

  • Total premium collected nationally across all lines of business was $2.9 trillion, representing an increase of 8.2% since 2020.
  • In terms of states with the most premium written in all lines of business, California is the leader, followed by New York, Florida, Texas, and Pennsylvania, who collectively represent 40% of all insurance premiums in the nation.

The top 20 states with the most premium written

When Agency Checklists first started reporting on this report many years ago, Massachusetts was included as one of the top ten largest states as ranked by Written Premium. Over the past couple of years, however, Massachusetts has continued to slide in the rankings with respect to the total premium written vis a vis other states. As for 2023, here are the 20 largest states as ranked by premium volume:
