Commission Volume by Line of Business
At the close of 2025, total commissions paid to insurance intermediaries in Colombia reached COP 8.167 trillion, reflecting a nominal year-on-year increase of 11.1%. The distribution of commissions shows a clear concentration in life insurance, which accounted for COP 4.326 trillion and expanded at a rate of 16.0% compared to the previous year. Non-life insurance followed with COP 3.283 trillion, although its growth was more moderate at 5.1%.
Workers’ compensation insurance generated commissions totaling COP 534 billion, with a notable increase of 11.5%, positioning it as a segment with solid momentum. Meanwhile, pensions and annuities remained marginal in absolute terms, with COP 25 billion in commissions, but exhibited the highest growth rate at 27.0%, albeit from a low base.
Leadership in Life Insurance Commissions
In the life insurance segment, SURAMERICANA leads by a wide margin, with commissions totaling COP 1.466 trillion. This level of production reinforces its central role in the distribution of life products through intermediaries.
The group of leading insurers in this segment is completed by SEGUROS ALFA, PAN AMERICAN LIFE, AXA, and CARDIF COLOMBIA, all of which maintain significant participation in intermediary channels, although at a considerable distance from the segment leader.
Leadership in Non-Life Insurance Commissions
Within non-life insurance, SURAMERICANA again holds the leading position, with commissions amounting to COP 511.1 billion. This confirms its cross-segment strength and its ability to sustain leadership beyond life insurance.
The remaining top five positions are occupied by AXA, SEGUROS DEL ESTADO, MUNDIAL, and BOLIVAR, forming a competitive group with diversified portfolios in property and casualty lines.
Leadership in Workers’ Compensation Commissions
In the workers’ compensation segment, SURAMERICANA also ranks first, generating COP 152.5 billion in commissions. This reinforces its consistent presence across all major lines of business.
The leading group in this segment is completed by AXA, POSITIVA, BOLIVAR, and COLMENA, all of which maintain relevant positions within a segment characterized by specialized distribution and regulatory frameworks.
Leadership in Pensions and Annuities Commissions
The pensions and annuities segment presents a different leadership structure. SKANDIA occupies the first position with COP 10.8 billion in commissions, distinguishing itself from the broader market dynamics observed in other lines.
The top five is completed by SURAMERICANA, GLOBAL, ALLIANZ, and AXA, indicating a more diversified competitive landscape in this segment, with lower absolute volumes but higher growth rates.
