UnitedHealth Group Incorporated held onto the top spot in AM Best’s ranking of the world’s 25 largest insurance companies for an ninth straight year, growing net premiums written (NPW) by 14% in 2022 to $257.2 billion. In addition, Allianz SE remained in its top spot by nonbanking assets, at $1.1 trillion, despite a 10% drop from the previous year.
AM Best released the rankings of the world’s largest global insurance companies, by NPW and nonbanking assets, in the January 2024 issue of Best’s Review, available now. The two rankings are based on BestLink data and additional research.
The top 10 insurers by NPW were again dominated by health insurers, as four of the top five insurers were U.S.-based health companies. No. 2 Centene Corporation retained its position as its NPW rose 13.2%, while No. 3 Elevance Health Inc. also kept its position as NPW rose 13.5%. Kaiser Foundation Group of Health Plans moved up to No. 4, while Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China Ltd. stayed at No. 5. China life Insurance (Group) Co. was the only insurer in the top 25 ranking to see its NPW fall, down 0.7%, as it fell to sixth place from No. 4.
Despite some re-shuffling at the top of AM Best’s annual ranking of the top 25 insurers by net nonbanking assets, life insurers still dominated, with seven of the top 10 insurers providing life products. Ping An insurance (Group) Company of China Ltd. surged to second behind Allianz SE from fourth place as its assets rose 11.4% to $960.7 billion in 2022.
