Every year, we collect insights from insurance professionals about trends in agency-carrier connectivity. The 2025 Agency-Carrier Connectivity survey just closed, and results indicate that policy download is a top trend in agency operations. Download transaction volume increased 7%, totaling 334 million transactions. This growth allows agencies, carriers, and MGAs to align their digital strategies, boosting efficiency and fostering partnerships.
Key survey findings include:
- Agency Quoting Preferences: Agents indicated that their primary reasons for increasing business with carriers are speed of quoting and connection to integrated quoting within their agency management systems.
- Agency Demand for Greater Access to Appetite: 85% of agents said they would write more business with carriers if real-time appetite and quoting were available in their agency management systems, simplifying market searches. Nearly 78% of agencies reported missing opportunities due to an inability to find a market for quoting.
- Carrier Demand for New Quality Agency Partnerships: Industry trade shows and events are the preferred location method.
- Commercial Lines Submissions: 95% of agents consider fast turnaround for quoting commercial lines is five minutes or less.
