Sales continue four-year growth trend to surpass pre-pandemic levels
The voluntary benefits industry accelerated its growth last year with sales up 6.7%, according to Eastbridge Consulting Group’s newest research. That exceeded the previous year’s 5.4% growth and pushed total sales premium to $9.34 billion, the industry’s highest level ever. In-force premium also beat historical highs by growing almost 5.5% in 2023 to $53.3 billion.
Eastbridge’s U.S. Voluntary/Worksite Sales Report provides the industry’s most comprehensive, reliable and current source of data available on voluntary/worksite sales and in-force premium. The new report includes data from 2000 through 2023 from 60 companies, primarily on group and individual life and health products.
“These sales results show the voluntary industry has recovered from the pandemic in just a few years,” said Nick Rockwell, Eastbridge president. “There are signs this growth trend will continue, as our research shows brokers, employers and employees continue to be enthusiastic about the value of voluntary coverage.”
