Colombia’s Insurance & Reinsurance Brokerage Market: Concentration, Growth and Competitive Dynamics to 2025
Market Structure and Regulatory Context
Colombia’s insurance intermediation market operates within a well-defined regulatory framework led by the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia, which oversees licensing, solvency, and conduct of insurers and intermediaries. Insurance brokers and reinsurance brokers play a central role as professional intermediaries, advising corporate and institutional clients, structuring risk transfer solutions, and facilitating access to both domestic insurers and international reinsurance capacity. Industry bodies such as Fasecolda provide standard definitions, market statistics, and best practices, emphasizing the advisory nature of brokers and their importance in complex risk placement.
Within this framework, the brokerage market in Colombia is characterized by a relatively small number of highly specialized firms with strong international affiliations, particularly in reinsurance, where technical expertise and global networks are critical.

Insurance Brokers: Market Size and Competitive Landscape
As of December 2025, total intermediation commissions in the insurance brokerage segment reached COP$ 1.18 trillion, reflecting the scale and maturity of the market. Growth in operational revenue expanded by 10.5% year-on-year, broadly aligned with premium growth in the insurance sector, while commissions increased by 9.5%, confirming the resilience of intermediation activity despite macroeconomic volatility.
The competitive landscape remains highly concentrated. The top ten firms—DELIMA-MARSH, AON-COLOMBIA, WILLIS-TOWERS-WATSON-COLOMBIA, CORRECOL-CORREDORES-COLOMBIANOS, ARTHUR-J-GALLAGHER, HOWDEN, GONSEGUROS-CORREDORES, JARGÚ-CORREDORES, LOCKTON-SEKURITAS, and COOMEVA-CORREDORES—collectively control 90% of total market commissions. This concentration is particularly notable given that the market comprises only 22 active insurance brokers, underscoring high barriers to entry related to scale, client relationships, and technical capabilities.
Profitability, however, shows signs of pressure. While revenues and assets grew at a steady pace—assets rising 9.3% and equity 12.6%—net income declined by 22.8% year-on-year. This divergence reflects rising operational expenses, which increased by 17.5%, suggesting cost inflation, talent competition, and continued investment in digital and analytical capabilities.
Reinsurance Brokers: A Highly Concentrated Specialist Segment
The reinsurance brokerage segment presents an even more concentrated structure. Total commissions reached COP$ 400.3 billion by December 2025, with the top ten firms controlling 94% of the market among just 16 active players.

Leading firms include AON-BENFIELD-COLOMBIA-REASEGUROS, ARTHUR-J-GALLAGHER-RE-COLOMBIA, CARPENTER-MARSH-FAC-COLOMBIA, UIB-COLOMBIA-CORREDORES-DE-REASEGUROS, HOWDEN-RE-COLOMBIA-CORREDORES-DE-REASEGUROS, THB-COLOMBIA-CORREDORES-DE-REASEGUROS, WILLIS-TOWERS-WATSON-COLOMBIA-CORREDORES-DE-REASEGUROS, GUY-CARPENTER-COLOMBIA-CORREDORES-DE-REASEGUROS, ATLANTIC-LATAM-CORREDORES-DE-REASEGUROS, and BRS-INTERNATIONAL-LATAM-CORREDORES-DE-REASEGUROS.
This segment is intrinsically global, with most leading players integrated into international brokerage groups. Their competitive advantage lies in access to global reinsurance markets, advanced risk modeling, and structuring capabilities for complex programs, particularly in lines such as property catastrophe, energy, and financial risks.
Performance Trends and Strategic Implications
The Colombian brokerage market reveals a dual dynamic. On one hand, it continues to expand in line with the underlying insurance market, supported by economic growth, increased insurance penetration, and demand for sophisticated risk advisory services. On the other hand, rising costs and margin compression are reshaping competitive strategies.
Large international brokers maintain dominance through scale, technology, and multinational client portfolios, while local firms compete through specialization, client proximity, and niche expertise. The high level of concentration suggests that consolidation pressures could persist, particularly among mid-sized players seeking to remain competitive.
