Program Business Insurance Premium Revenue Tops $30 Billion in 2013

The fourth annual State of Program Business Study was released at the 14th Annual Summit in Scottsdale last week and offered important insights into this industry segment.

The financial performance of commercial property casualty insurance program administrators continues to outpace the performance of the overall property casualty insurance markets. Program business premium revenues increased by 9.8 percent reaching $30.1 billion in 2013 up from $27.4 billion in 2012.    

David Springer, TMPAA president President/COO of program administrator NIP Programs, said “once again, this year’s survey results demonstrate the impact that program administrators have on the marketplace – clearly outpacing the other major segments of the property casualty insurance market.”

Among the key findings:

  • Program business is growing more quickly than the overall commercial insurance marketplace. While the size of program business rose 9.8%, the growth in direct premiums written for commercial lines increased by only 4.6%.
  • Recruitment and training trends in the program space shows that hiring and retaining qualified personnel continues to be a major challenge. Responses indicate that PAs are boosting training programs to better support the needs of both new and experienced underwriters.
  • Survey responses show that PAs do not see social media as an effective marketing tool. LinkedIn and Facebook are the most commonly used social media services.
  • A comparison of 2014 PA responses to 2013 responses showed an average of 3.1% growth in the number of programs.

Heidi Strommen, incoming TMPAA president and president of ProHost USA, said “I know of no other trade association that can boast that more than 60% of their members responded to a comprehensive survey of its industry.”  Strommen said that, based on the survey’s results, “recruitment and training of qualified job candidates, especially for entry level jobs, continues to be a top priority for both program administrators and program carriers.”

Full study is available to all TMPAA members.

NEW RESOURCE: Program Carrier Report


Members will receive the TMPAA Program Carrier Report this month in the mail.  The Association has negotiated with Alirt Research to create this extensive report providing important information on the financial status of all major program carriers.  Developing this report was made possible by a sponsorship from Berkley Program Specialists.  It is our plan to provide this report to all active Program Administrator members twice annually along with periodic updates via email.  We believe this information will be a significant resource for any market decisions you may have to make regarding your program(s).

Heidi Strommen Named TMPAA President Elect

The Target Markets Program Administrators Association (TMPAA) announced that Heidi Strommen has been elected to serve as the TMPAA President following the completion of current President David Springer’s term in January 2015.

“The TMPAA has a history of strong leadership provided by past presidents, the Advisory Board and talented staff members, all of whom have helped make the Association the effective organization that it is today,” stated Heidi Strommen. “Dave Springer continued that tradition these last two years and has done a superb job as President. I’m looking forward to continuing to build on Target Market’s strengths by working with all stakeholders to determine the best alignment of the Association’s products and services with their needs. Data-driven strategies will be particularly important in the coming months and we will be working diligently to develop and deliver more offerings that address this crucial area in a useful way. As a charter member, I have enjoyed 13 years of building strategic partnerships which have played an integral role in our company’s program administration success.  Helping program specialists build those key partnerships and make those connections will remain the TMPAA’s core mission as we move ahead.”
