The automotive insurance market growth is projected to register a CAGR of 21% from 2022 to 2030.

Global Automotive Insurance Market Research Overview (MRFR Insights)

Digital technologies are being adopted in various insurance solutions due to greater awareness among people of different types of auto insurance. The automotive insurance market size is expected to reach approximately USD Significant Value by 2030. Moreover, the demand for car insurance is expected to grow as it covers a wide range of topics, including coverage and loss of property, medical coverage, and liability. Seventy-eight percent of insured drivers buy comprehensive and progressive insurance, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

During 2020, the pandemic significantly impacted driving habits. Shelter-in-place orders, work-from-home arrangements, and the closure of countless businesses significantly decreased the average number of miles driven. According to the Federal Highway Administration, the US average number of miles driven decreased by 41%. Since the pandemic caused a sharp decline in vehicles on the road, insurance models have been shown to have shortcomings. Insurers have offered discounts on monthly premiums to compensate for reduced mileage and accident risk, but these discounts don't reflect the magnitude of traffic reduction. In light of the price sensitivity and economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic, more people may switch to mileage-based policies.

Automotive Insurance Market Dynamics

Auto insurance covers the cost of injuries, death, or property damage caused to the driver by the insured owner of the vehicle, as well as damage to property such as pavements, parks, and fences. Additionally, negligence and rash driving contributes to the rise of road accidents, driving up the demand for auto insurance. Several factors are driving the market for vehicle insurance growth, including an increase in accidents, strict government regulations for adopting auto insurance, and an increase in automobile sales worldwide due to a rise in per capita incomes. Furthermore, autonomous vehicles hamper the market for vehicle insurance growth. Moreover, the increased demand for third-party liability coverage in emerging economies and the implementation of new technologies are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the market for vehicle insurance.

Market Key Drivers

• Savings and safety fuel the demand for vehicle insurance

Rather than relying on a once-a-year relationship based on renewals, insurers can transform customer relationship management with UBI. Insurers can gain new business, increase brand loyalty, and improve customer retention by increasing transparency and controlling costs for drivers. With automotive usage-based insurance, risk can be better assessed, priced into policies, and minimized and optimized. By using aggregate driving data, insurers can refine their risk profiles for customers who don't have automotive usage-based insurance, ensuring they always have margins on their policies and identifying new customers to target. The market is expected to grow due to its advantages, such as increased customer retention, profitability, and streamlined claims processes.

Market Key Restraints:

• The security and privacy concerns related to automotive usage-based insurance will hold back its adoption

There have been many recent examples of data breaches ly that have raised consumer concerns about data privacy & security. For instance, the 2015 network hack by Premera Blue Cross was undetected for nearly nine months after being discovered. The advanced persistent threat attack exposed more than 10.4 million individuals' protected health information, including their bank account information, social security number, email address, names, and clinical information for their health plans. Due to these factors, the market will be restrained from growing in the future since USD 6.85 million was settled in September 2020 (the second-largest settlement for HIPAA violations).

Market Key Opportunities:

• Strategies for enhancing growth through innovative marketing

To accelerate industry change, key players are experimenting with several strategies for selling UBI programs to users. Metromile, a pay-per-mile carrier, launched Ride Along in October 2020. Those who want to test whether their rates will change under a UBI plan won't have to change carriers. A rise in innovative marketing strategies will positively influence the adoption of automotive UBI policies after two weeks of driving with the Ride Along with the app.

Automotive Insurance Market Segmentation

Vehicle Type Insights

The automotive insurance market segmentation, based on vehicle type, is passenger cars, light commercial vehicles (LCV), and heavy commercial vehicles (HCV). The insurance market growth was prominently high under the passenger cars insurance category in 2021. UBI is gaining popularity in this segment due to consumers' increased demand for lower insurance premiums, substantial discounts for registration, and low-cost additional services such as theft protection and remote vehicle control. However, light commercial vehicles (LCVs) are expected to grow faster. A major reason for this is the increasing adoption of UBI among fleet owners. With UBI, fleet owners can offer value-added services, resulting in higher profits and lower total costs of ownership. Additionally, fleet owners appreciate the importance of the reputation of drivers. Therefore, receiving feedback regarding their drivers (regarding driving behavior) is a welcome proposition.
