According to insurance and reinsurance broking group Aon, global insured losses from natural disaster events in 2025 reached $127 billion, marking the sixth consecutive year that insurance payouts have exceeded the $100 billion threshold.
The firm also reported that global economic losses from natural disasters reached $260 billion in 2025, marking the lowest level recorded since 2015.
According to the broker, this contrast reflects the continued influence of concentrated, high-severity frequency peril events, particularly in the United States, which are driving substantial insured losses even in years with comparatively moderate overall hazard activity.
Aon also highlights that, in many regions, particularly emerging markets, more than half of economic losses remained uninsured, leaving millions of communities and businesses exposed to financial risk.
