Hard to get a clear answer; same thing happened about 5 years ago. There were only 3 providers at that time that would write the industry, but then after a couple of years, it bounced back.
Best I can ascertain, it's because of the indutry wide loss/run over the course of the year and the relatively small size of the industry for the trouble.
