Guides

By Mark Rosanes

Property and casualty insurance providers across the country wrote more than $797 billion in premiums in 2021, generating about $767 billion in earned premiums, the latest industry report from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) has revealed. These figures represent a 9.5% and 7.5% rise, respectively, from the previous year.

The nation’s 10 largest P&C insurance companies command almost half (47%) of the market, with the top 25 insurers accounting for two-thirds of the overall share. Direct written premiums (DWP) from these insurance providers reached almost $517 billion at the end of last year, while earned premiums slightly exceeded $488 billion.

Industry behemoth State Farm remains the largest property and casualty insurer in the US, controlling almost 9% of the market and writing more than $70.3 billion in premiums. The Bloomington, Illinois-headquartered insurance giant’s DWP is almost $19 billion more than that of Berkshire Hathaway, which sits on second place. Warren Buffett’s conglomerate owns several insurance subsidiaries, including GEICO.

Prominent insurance brands Progressive, Allstate, and Liberty Mutual, which account for 6%, 5.2%, and 4.8% of the market, respectively, round up the top five biggest P&C insurance companies in the US.

What is property and casualty insurance?

P&C insurance is an umbrella term for a broad type of coverage that helps protect personal property – including home and vehicles – and cover against liability if someone is found legally responsible for an accident that causes bodily injury or property damage to others.

Apart from auto and home coverage, P&C policies include accident and health, commercial, farm, marine, aviation, credit, flood, surety, professional liability, private mortgage, and workers’ compensation insurance.
