Automotive Insurance Market Dynamics

Increasing awareness among end-users, the advent of new technologies and products, and the availability of third-party insurance providers in developing countries such as India, Vietnam, Indonesia, and China to bring significant momentum to the automotive insurance industry over the forecast period. Automotive insurance firms are partnering with software providers to provide large-scale data-based solutions to the end user's needs and untapped market demand during a car-related transaction.

In addition, digital technologies and mobile internet are changing the vehicle industry and hence the vehicle/automotive insurance market. There is no question that the automotive industry is experiencing significant changes that will help increase asset utilization, change vehicle ownership models, and boost vehicle safety, which will ultimately impact the global automotive insurance market. In addition, the introduction of autonomous technology has made vehicles significantly safer, which is projected to decrease vehicle accidents by a substantial percentage over the forecast period. In addition, the increase in on-demand transport and the change in liability to manufacturers are some of the factors that are predicted to impede the growth of global automotive insurance during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on Global Automotive Insurance Market

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the automotive industry has faced a series of problems. Profitability and sales have been severely affected, with automakers now seeking to reclaim ground as the lockdown is lifted across countries. Following the pandemic and the resulting curfews and travel bans, the auto industry is taking steps to recover. Experts note that since the beginning of SARS-CoV-2, there has been a significant shift in consumer behavior and habits, with the demand for shared mobility steadily decreasing, given the rising prevalence of social distancing as well as hygiene. This could lead to a higher demand for lower-priced personal mobility, benefiting both automakers and auto insurance providers.

The novel coronavirus has guided the need for contact-less transactions that could be reflected in vehicle sales in the coming months. Increased preference for online models, along with an increase in online booking for pick-up/delivery, appointments, and online payments, has been favorable for the automotive insurance industry, despite the COVID-19 effect. Many insurance companies give refunds or discounts to consumers, which could further help the market. For example, since the early months of 2020, Liberty Mutual (U.S.) has given almost 15% refunds on two-month auto premiums to customers.

The insurance firms also have a significant opportunity amid the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, as they are now designing personalized goods and services to maintain existing customers and gain new ones. The growing use of private vehicles has resulted in roads being packed with less experienced drivers during peak hours, increasing road accidents. In addition, growing technical and product advances, combined with a large number of active third-party insurance companies in emerging countries such as India, Indonesia, China, and Vietnam, may also contribute to substantial growth in the automotive insurance industry.

For example, in July 2020, Kia introduced an insurance policy for connected cars in India, a joint offering by ICICI Lombard GIC and Bajaj Allianz. This insurance is intended for customers interested in Kia's connected car system and claims settlements.
