So, without further ado, a look at the latest data points:

Three take-aways from this update:

While it may appear that little changes in the Massachusetts private passenger auto insurance marketplace from month-to-month, a lot has changed over the past decade since Agency Checklists first began publishing its bi-monthly updates as can be seen in the snapshots provided below. For example:

  • The top Private Passenger Auto Insurance in Massachusetts, MAPFRE (Commerce), which celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2022, continues to be the number one Private Passenger Auto Insurance in Massachusetts with a 20.91% as of November 2022. Five years ago, however, the insurer had a market share of 25.5%, while 10 years ago in July 2012, it was 27.9%.
  • Over the past five years, GEICO has increased its market share percentage by almost 6% (5.8%), going from 10.4% in 2017 to its current 16.23%.
  • There are now three top five insurers who are neck-in-neck with a ~7% share of the marketplace: third-ranked Arbella with a 7.77% share, fourth-ranked Liberty Mutual with a 7.70% share, and fifth-ranked Plymouth Rock with a 7.65% share.
  • In total, the top 10 insurers continue to claim most of the marketplace with an 84.21% of the marketplace, while the top two insurers, MAPFRE and GEICO, dominate even further with a combined market share of 37.14%
