2019 Insurance Fact Book 2019 Insurance Fact Book TO THE READER Imagine a world without insurance. Some might say, “So what?” or “Yes to that!” when reading the sentence above. And that’s understandable, given that often the best experience one can have with insurance is not to receive the benefits of the product at all, after a disaster or other loss. And others—who already have some understanding or even appreciation for insurance—might say it provides protection against financial aspects of a premature death, injury, loss of property, loss of earning power, legal liability or other unexpected expenses. All that is true. We are the financial first responders. But there is so much more. Insurance drives economic growth. It provides stability against risks. It encourages resilience. Recent disasters have demonstrated the vital role the industry plays in recovery—and that without insurance, the impact on individuals, businesses and communities can be devastating. As insurers, we know that even with all that we protect now, the coverage gap is still too big. We want to close that gap. That desire is reflected in changes to this year’s Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.)Insurance Fact Book. We have added new information on coastal storm surge risk and hail as well as reinsurance and the growing problem of marijuana and impaired driving. We have updated the section on litigiousness to include tort costs and compensation by state, and assignment of benefits litigation, a growing problem in Florida. As always, the book provides valuable information on: • World and U.S. catastrophes • Property/casualty and life/health insurance results and investments • Personal expenditures on auto and homeowners insurance • Major types of insurance losses, including vehicle accidents, homeowners claims, crime and workplace accidents • State auto insurance laws The I.I.I. Insurance Fact Book is meant to be used along with the institute’s website, www.iii.org, which features infor- mation for consumers, researchers, public policymakers and businesses alike. The I.I.I. remains a vital source for the media, which rely on I.I.I. spokespersons, the Fact Book, videos and other materials for credible, timely information. Social networks are another way to stay in touch with the I.I.I. We welcome you to like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter at @iiiorg and @III_Research, or connect with us on LinkedIn. Thank you to the many associations, consultants and others who collect industry statistics and who have generously given permission to use their data—and to our members, for their longstanding support. A world without insurance? Let’s hope not. Sean Kevelighan Chief Executive Officer Insurance Information Institute The 2019 Insurance Fact Book is published by the Insurance Information Institute, a primary source for information, analysis and referral on insurance subjects. The Fact Book contains material from numerous sources. Because these sources define and collect data in various ways, and moreover, are constantly refining the data, differences among similar data may occur. ©2019 Insurance Information Institute.

  • The State of the Property Insurance Market | Spring 2020
    THE STATE OF THE PROPERTY INSURANCE MARKET | SPRING 2020 WHAT IT MEANS FOR INSURANCE BUYERS THE STATE OF THE PROPERTY INSURANCE MARKET | SPRING 2020 WHAT IT MEANS FOR INSURANCE BUYERS An Advisen whitepaper Rising premiums. Disappearing capacity. Tighter contract terms. sponsored by AXA XL This is the new reality for risk managers as they renew their property insurance programs. Brokers are reporting premium April 2020 increases of more than 50 percent for many insureds. The property/casualty insurance market is cyclical. A period of rising premiums and reduced capacity—a hard market—is fol- lowed by a typically longer period of falling rates and expanding capacity—a soft market. Analysts debate whether the current period of rising premiums technically qualifies as a hard market since certain key attributes are missing. Some call it a “transition- ing” market instead.1 Risk managers, brokers, and underwriters, however, aren’t overly concerned about technical definitions—this passes the duck test: it looks, feels, and acts like a hard market. For many people in the insurance ecosystem, this is their first experience of hard market conditions. While rate levels fluctu- ated somewhat over the past decade, the overall trend has been softening rates since 2004, the end of the last industry-wide hard market. Facing an uncharacteristically volatile market, many risk managers find it difficult to budget their insurance costs, or even to explain to senior management why premiums are rising so sharply. The pressure is on to find creative ways of keeping their total cost of risk in check. For insurance carriers, rising rates are finally bringing relief from a prolonged period of chronically underpriced business that took a toll on the bottom line.
