总部位于美国的保险业研究和教育组织保险信息研究所 (Triple-I) 表示，不断上涨的保费和更严格的保险范围选择继续对全国各地的家庭预算构成挑战。 与此同时，Triple-I 报告称，尽管人们对负担能力的担忧仍然普遍存在，但房主保险市场已开始显示出稳定的早期迹象。 Triple-I 的最新问题简报表明，美国房主保险领域的净承保保费预计将在 2025 年实现两位数增长。Triple-I 进一步预测，该领域可能会在 2026 年恢复整体盈利，这一转变可能会逐渐改善市场状况，并随着时间的推移支持保单持有人的定价更加一致。 Triple-I 解释说，通货膨胀、高昂的重建成本和持续的气候相关损失仍然是影响保费和承保范围的主要因素。该组织指出，洛杉矶山火造成的损失导致第一季度房主承保业绩出现自 2011 年以来最弱的水平。 然而，Triple-I 报告称，2025 年第二季度业绩显着改善，直接损失率降至 58.9%，为 15 年来最强劲的第二季度业绩。尽管有所改善，但 Triple-I 强调，许多房主仍然面临着保险费用上涨带来的财务压力。 根据 Triple-I 预测，房主保险的净综合成本率预计将在 2025 年达到 107.2，较 2024 年提高 7.5 个百分点，但仍高于盈利阈值。 Triple-I 预计 2025 年净承保保费增长 11.8%，略低于前两年，但与持续的通货膨胀和损失模式一致。 Triple-I 还报告称，2025 年第二季度房屋直接发生损失率比 2024 年同期提高了约 22 个百分点。 Triple-I 的数据显示，2024 年，房主保险占美国所有财产和伤亡保费的 15.6%，突显了该领域对整个行业业绩的重要性。 Triple-I 指出，影响保费增长的经济因素从 2024 年的负贡献转变为 2025…
