Based on the latest available data as of December 2025, the market shows moderate expansion in intermediated premiums alongside a relatively concentrated competitive landscape among the leading brokerage firms.

Intermediated Premiums Continue to Grow in the Nicaraguan Market
Insurance premiums placed through intermediaries in Nicaragua reached significant levels in 2025, reflecting the continued relevance of advisory-based distribution in the country. Brokers accounted for intermediated premiums totaling 6,517 million córdobas in December 2025, compared with 5,983 million córdobas in December 2024. This represents a year-on-year increase of 8.9%, highlighting the stability and continued expansion of brokerage-led distribution in the market.
Individual insurance agents also play a role in the distribution ecosystem, although their volumes remain considerably smaller compared with corporate brokerage firms. Premiums intermediated through individual agents reached 389 million córdobas in December 2025, up from 331 million córdobas recorded in December 2024. The segment registered a strong year-on-year growth rate of 17.6%, significantly above the market average, indicating that smaller intermediaries are expanding their participation despite the structural dominance of brokers.
When considering both channels together, the overall average growth rate of intermediated premiums reached 9.4% during the period analyzed. This expansion reflects the steady development of insurance demand in Nicaragua and the continued reliance on intermediaries to structure policies, negotiate coverage conditions, and provide advisory services to clients.

Market Concentration Among Leading Intermediaries
The analysis of Nicaragua’s insurance brokerage sector was conducted across a total of 108 brokers and intermediaries operating in the market. Despite this relatively large number of participants, premium placement remains significantly concentrated among the leading firms.
The ten largest brokers together accounted for a combined market share of 47.38% of all intermediated premiums in the country. This indicates that nearly half of the brokerage market is controlled by a relatively small group of established intermediaries with strong relationships with insurers and corporate clients.
The concentration becomes even more evident when expanding the analysis to the top twenty intermediaries. The twenty largest brokers collectively captured 66.20% of the market, meaning that two-thirds of all intermediated premiums are handled by this group.
Overall, the distribution structure in Nicaragua reflects a market where professional brokerage firms play a central role in insurance placement, supported by a smaller but rapidly expanding segment of individual agents. The combination of moderate premium growth and a relatively concentrated intermediary structure suggests that the competitive dynamics of the Nicaraguan insurance market continue to favor established brokerage organizations while still leaving room for smaller intermediaries to expand their presence.
