Many insurers feel that aggregators have resulted in business generally being written by those with the lowest rates. This has meant that insurers that have raised rates have had to, at least temporarily; accept a loss of market share for the affected risks, depressing premium income growth.
Of the top 10 groups, Lloyds Banking Group, through its underwriting vehicle esure, achieved the largest growth in GWP in 2008. According to the HBOS 2008 annual report, this growth was supported by the additional spending on marketing and new business acquisition activities.
