The state of the global fronting market
In the past four years, fronting companies have overtaken Lloyd’s to become the principal source of capacity for MGAs in the United States – the world’s largest MGA market. Last year, they extended their lead, writing direct premium of $19.79 billion, up 22.8% on 2023. The five largest fronts wrote $2.26 billion more than in 2023.
Lexicon’s 2025 fronting market study analyses the competitive dynamics of the fronting sector, which is fueling MGA growth in Europe as well as North America.
Available this month, Lexicon’s study offers a rich and detailed view of the business transacted by 43 fronting companies in the US and five in Europe, with data on premiums written; MGAs supported; reinsurance purchased; and profitability.
