Pérdidas de aseguradas por catástrofes naturales superan los US$100.000 millones por sexto año consecutivo

TL;DR

  • Insured losses from natural catastrophes in 2025 were $107 billion, down 24% from 2024 but marking the sixth consecutive year over $100 billion.
  • Record wildfire losses ($40 billion) and severe convective storms (SCS) ($50 billion) were major drivers of insured losses.
  • The United States was the most affected market, accounting for 83% of global insured losses ($89 billion).
  • Hurricane Melissa was the costliest hurricane event of 2025 ($2.5 billion), but low insured losses occurred for hurricanes impacting the US due to none making landfall there.
  • Severe flooding in Southeast Asia occurred in November, and a major earthquake near Kamchatka, Russia, prompted successful early warning and evacuation systems.
