Insurance Agencies & Brokerages Industry Report

Purchase Report
 
$129

Overview

The US insurance agencies and brokerages industry includes about 135,000 establishments (single-location companies and branches of multi-location companies) with annual revenue of about $110 billion. Large companies include Marsh, Aon, Arthur J Gallagher, and State Farm. Despite the prominence of large companies in the commercial segment, the industry remains highly fragmented: the largest 50 firms only hold 20 percent of the total market. Many companies that primarily offer insurance products to businesses function mainly as brokers. Captive agencies operate as a sales agent for a single insurer, working on its behalf; independent brokers sell products from several providers.

        Competitive Landscape Brief

        Demand is driven by demographics and the economy. The profitability of individual companies depends on effective marketing and investment strategies and on the ability to accurately estimate future payments. Large companies take advantage of economies of scale in administration and in access to capital, as well as advertising and marketing. Small companies can compete successfully by providing specialized services to communities and organizations, such as current and former military personnel, church affiliations, and fraternal organizations. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is more than $1 million. Many life insurance companies are mutual companies rather than publicly traded companies. A mutual company does not issue stock and is owned by its customers. In some states, savings banks can also sell life insurance policies, which may be less expensive than products offered through insurance agents or brokers.
