Captive Insurance

Recent Growth of Captive Insurance
Back to All
Commercial Insurance

Over the past five years, the captive insurance industry has experienced significant growth, driven by various factors including economic challenges, rising insurance costs, and the need for more tailored risk management solutions. According to recent reports, the number of captive insurance companies globally has surged, with estimates suggesting around 8,000 captives writing $50 billion in premiums in 2024 alone. This growth has been particularly notable in established domiciles such as Delaware, Vermont, and Bermuda, as well as emerging markets like France.

One of the primary reasons for this growth is the increasing awareness among businesses of the benefits that captive insurance offers compared to traditional insurance. Captive insurance allows companies to create their own insurance entities, providing them with greater control over their risk management strategies and financial outcomes. This model is especially appealing in a hard insurance market where premiums are high and coverage options are limited.

Why Captive Insurance is a Great Alternative to Traditional Insurance

Cost Savings

By forming a captive, companies can reduce their reliance on commercial insurers and capture underwriting profits. This often leads to lower overall insurance costs and better cash flow management.

Customized Coverage

Captives allow businesses to tailor their insurance policies to meet specific needs, addressing unique exposures that might be inadequately covered by standard insurance policies.

Enhanced Risk Management

Captive insurance enables organizations to implement proactive risk management strategies, leading to improved safety programs and reduced losses.

Flexibility

Captives can be used to cover a wide range of risks, including employee benefits, third-party liabilities, and cyber risks. This flexibility allows companies to adapt their coverage as their needs evolve.

Greater Control

With captive insurance, businesses retain significant control over their risk exposure and claims management processes, leading to more efficient and effective handling of losses.
