World's best insurance companies list

Best Property/ Casualty  Insurance companies

The nation’s top 25 property/casualty insurance companies claim more than two-thirds of the total market and wrote more than $588 billion in premium in 2015 – up 3.4% from the year previous, according to new data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Each insurer has increased their direct premiums written since 2014, and collectively represent a larger share of the market (64.4% in 2015 versus 62.7% the year previous). The usual suspects also top the list, though with some shuffling in position.

State Farm Group is again the largest property/casualty insurance company in the US, representing 10.09% of the market and writing $59.4 billion in direct premiums – nearly double that of its nearest competitor, Allstate ($30.1 billion).

Liberty Mutual fell two slots from the second largest insurer in 2014 to the fourth largest in 2015, as both Allstate and Berkshire Hathaway increased their share of the market. Progressive and Farmers also moved up one slot, as AIG and Nationwide fell slightly.

Tokio Marine is a new entrant on the list, claiming the 18th slot, and Allianz – previously the 24th largest insurer – is no longer in the top 25.
