• In recent years, there has been significant growth in the market size for insurance brokers and agents. This market is poised to expand from $464.66 billion in 2024 to an estimated $496.24 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.
The upward trend in the historical period is largely due to robust economic growth in burgeoning markets, escalating healthcare expenses, and insurance reforms initiated by the government.
The insurance brokers & agents market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for a substantial expansion in the insurance brokers & agents market in the upcoming years. This sector's size is anticipated to escalate to $637.12 billion in 2029, experiencing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%.
The predicted expansion within the forecast period can be linked to a rise in chronic illnesses and disabilities, the effects of COVID-19, and the emergent middle-class in burgeoning markets. The key trends foreseen during the forecast period encompass embracing AI digital insurance portals and distribution networks, purposeful partnerships with banking institutions, and a spike in mergers and acquisitions.
Investments in digital technology are being made by insurance brokers and agents with the goal of offering online services that could lead to increased sales and improved margins. Digitalization, or the conversion of information into digital formats, involves providing agents and brokers with digital tools and resources via insurance portals, exchange websites, and digital distribution avenues. The purpose of these digital channels and portals is to enhance business processing efficiency and decrease expenses. For example, in an insurance digital transformation survey, it was revealed that 39% of agents utilize web-based portals for customers to be able to request changes to their policy, check up on policy information and payments, report claims, attain insurance ID cards, and receive insurance certificates. In addition, 78% of agents increasingly turn to social media, such as Facebook and LinkedIn (68%), to draw in new customers. Major insurance companies like Marsh & McLennan Cos., Inc., Willis Towers Watson P.L.C., and Aon P.L.C. offer these insurance portals and digital distribution channels.
