Business Overview
AXA describes its business around protection. Its official company page presents the group as covering property, people, and assets through insurance and asset-management activities.
The group says its property-casualty business includes personal property insurance, such as cars and homes, as well as liability cover for personal and professional risks. AXA also describes its life insurance activity as covering savings and retirement products, together with health and personal protection products.
AXA's official company page identifies asset management as part of the group, involving investment and management of assets for AXA insurance companies, their clients, and third parties.
Reported Scale and Financial Snapshot
AXA's official company page lists 156,000 employees and distributors, 52 countries, and more than 92 million clients.
For the first quarter of 2026, AXA reported gross written premiums and other revenues of EUR 38.0 billion. The same release reported Property & Casualty premiums of EUR 21.5 billion and Life & Health premiums of EUR 16.5 billion for the period.
AXA's Full Year 2025 Earnings release described 2025 as a year of record results and cited earnings growth in core businesses excluding AXA IM. The first-quarter 2026 activity indicators are used here for period-specific premium and solvency figures because they are available in a concise official release.
Operating Segments / Business Lines
For insurance-market reference work, AXA is most relevant across several connected areas:
- Property and casualty insurance.
- Life insurance, savings, and retirement.
- Health and personal protection.
- Asset management for group insurance companies, clients, and third parties.
The 1Q26 activity indicators also separate Property & Casualty, Life & Health, commercial lines, personal lines, AXA XL Insurance, AXA XL Reinsurance, and health activity, which makes AXA useful for tracking large-group shifts across personal, commercial, protection, savings, and specialty risk markets.
Capital and Solvency
AXA reported a Solvency II ratio of 211% as of March 31, 2026. The 1Q26 release also shows a 224% Solvency II ratio for FY25 and a 215% ratio as of January 1, 2026 after the end of the grandfathering period referenced by AXA.
For insurance readers, the Solvency II ratio, business-line premium trends, and AXA XL performance are the core public indicators to review before drawing conclusions about underwriting appetite, balance-sheet flexibility, or specialty-market positioning.
Geographic Footprint
AXA states that it operates in 52 countries and serves more than 92 million clients. That footprint makes the group relevant to insurance-market coverage across Europe and other regions where AXA distributes products and services.
This is a group-level reference. Country-level subsidiaries, product permissions, distribution models, and regulatory positions vary by jurisdiction.
Why It Matters
AXA matters to insurance-market coverage because it operates across core consumer and commercial risk-transfer lines while also managing assets. Its public positioning spans protection, savings, health, retirement, and investment themes that are central to the way insurers serve households, businesses, and institutional clients.
For InsureSouk, AXA is also relevant when tracking large balance-sheet insurers, protection gaps, savings products, health and personal protection, climate adaptation, and insurer asset-management activity.
Recent Strategic Themes
AXA's recent public reporting emphasizes property-casualty momentum, Life & Health growth, AXA XL Insurance performance, balance-sheet resilience, automation, artificial intelligence, and discipline in softer reinsurance market conditions. Those themes are relevant to InsureSouk coverage of commercial insurance pricing, specialty capacity, operational efficiency, and large-insurer capital management.
