The U.S. P/C industry posted a $61 billion underwriting gain in 2025, nearly triple 2024's result, driven by a near-record low combined ratio of 92.6 and a 90% decline in hurricane-related claims.

Business Insurance (3/26/2026)
A sharp slowdown in hiring — employers added just 116,000 jobs in 2025, the weakest pace outside a recession since 2003 — is creating a mixed workers compensation outlook, according to NCCI’s Q1 2026 economic briefing. Elevated wage growth has largely offset the employment decline in terms of premium volume, but NCCI flags geopolitical risks, worker tenure shifts and the narrowing of job gains to health care as factors that could further dampen comp market performance.

Senior market figures at Airmic's annual Captives Forum in London argued that captives are shifting from a hard-market pressure valve into a strategic tool for quantifying emerging risks and generating the data needed to build future insurance solutions.

AccuWeather’s first 2026 Atlantic hurricane season forecast calls for 11-16 named storms, four to seven hurricanes and two to four major hurricanes. The forecast is slightly below average, as El Niño development is expected to create wind shear that disrupts storm formation. However, warm Atlantic and Gulf waters and the historical precedent of 2023 — the last El Niño year producing 20 named storms — temper confidence in the below-average outlook.
