North American insurance brokerage mergers and acquisitions (M&A) plunged to their lowest level in four years during the first quarter of 2025, signaling a marked cooling in a previously active consolidation market, according to S&P Global.
Deal Count: 101 transactions announced in Q1 2025, down from 125 in Q1 2024.
Deal Value: Total transaction values collapsed to $1.73 billion in Q1 2025, sharply down from $13.49 billion in Q4 2024 and $13.23 billion in Q1 2024.
This significant decline in both deal volume and value indicates a fundamental shift in market dynamics within the insurance brokerage sector’s consolidation landscape.
