Description

Property, Casualty and Direct Insurance in the US

General insurers can provide industry services at a fraction of the potential loss by pooling premiums to pay for losses some policyholders incur. The industry is an indispensable part of risk management in the domestic economy. General insurers derive income from insurance premiums and investing in bonds, stocks and other assets. Most property and casualty premiums are obtained through renewing policies relating to existing risks. Changes in risk exposure and pricing conditions affect remaining premiums. A large portion of consumers view policies as inelastic, although some may choose to decrease consumption of insurance policies should premium prices increase too much. Policy pricing fluctuates between cycles of price-cutting (softening) and price raising (hardening).

Operators in this industry are primarily engaged in underwriting insurance policies that protect individuals, businesses and agencies against losses that occur as a result of property damage, liability or other risks. Industry participants also protect real estate owners or creditors against losses sustained as a result of any title defect to real property. This industry does not include insurance coverage for life, disability, accidental death, dismemberment or health risks.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares."
