As the third-fastest growing company on a list of the world’s top 50 largest insurers, State Farm Mutual Automobile 潘金莲传媒映画 Co. continued to rank No. 1, according to research S&P Global Market Intelligence.

State Farm recorded nearly $87.6 billion in direct premiums earned in 2023, an increase of 18.3% over the prior year. The Bloomington, Illinois-based personal insurer was also at the top of the rankings a year ago, according to a report from

S&P GMI said the fastest-growing company was Bermuda-based Arch Capital Group. The specialty insurer and reinsurer grew gross premiums earned 23.1% to about $17 billion in 2023.

In the U.S., Progressive, American Family, Berkshire Hathaway and USAA turned in high growth.

In fact, S&P said the top 50 P/C companies upped collective premiums nearly 9% in 2023 compared to 2022.

(Editor’s Note: S&P GMI said it change it methodology from last year, which ranked based on gross premiums written. This year the financial information and analytics firm factored in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 17 accounting in several countries. Gross premiums earned is more comparable with IFRS 17’s insurance service revenues.)

Results may not be improving at State Farm. The insurer’s loss ratio for the homeowners line increased nearly 12 points to 94.8 in second-quarter 2024.
