Motor Insurance Global Market Report 2024

The motor insurance market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $805.91 billion in 2023 to $881.47 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the growth in vehicle ownership, regulatory mandates, urbanization, traffic density, and considerations for risk mitigation and financial security, along with lending and financing requirements.

The motor insurance market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1261.92 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. Forecasted growth is fueled by technological integration in telematics, the rise of electric and autonomous vehicles, a focus on environmental sustainability, data analytics, and the shift towards on-demand and usage-based insurance. Key trends include emphasis on sustainability, biometric authentication, personalized premiums based on behavioral data, regulatory compliance, and customer-centric insurtech innovations.

The anticipated surge in the motor insurance market is attributed to the escalating number of automobiles on the road. As the prevalence of self-propelled vehicles such as cars, buses, and trucks continues to rise, there is a growing demand for auto insurance among individuals seeking financial protection. Motor insurance provides comprehensive coverage, encompassing benefits such as cost coverage for injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle repair, and property damage resulting from accidents. This heightened demand is exemplified by data from the National Transportation Statistics 2021 report by the U.S. Department of Transportation, revealing 113,461,353 registered vehicles in the USA in 2021, with 105,143,990 automobiles and 8,317,363 motorcycles in 2020. Furthermore, a November 2022 report from the UK-based Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) indicates a 7.4% year-on-year increase in the UK's car production, reaching 69,524 units. In essence, the escalating number of automobiles on the road is a significant catalyst propelling the growth of the motor insurance market.

The anticipated growth in the motor insurance market is closely tied to the increasing occurrence of traffic accidents. Traffic accidents, involving collisions or incidents with vehicles on roads, often lead to property damage, injuries, or even fatalities. These events result from various factors such as human error, vehicle malfunctions, and adverse road or weather conditions. Significantly, traffic accidents serve as the foundation for insurance claims and coverage within the motor insurance sector. Motor insurance plays a vital role in providing financial protection for damages and injuries arising from these accidents, covering expenses such as vehicle repairs, medical bills, and liability costs. As illustrated by the UK Government's annual report on road casualties in June 2023, there were 1,633 reported fatalities in road collisions in Great Britain, indicating a 9% decrease from the previous year's figures. While there was a 2% decline in fatalities from 2019 to 2022, the report also highlights 29,742 killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties, down 3% from 2019, and 135,480 casualties of all severities, reflecting a 12% decline from 2019. This data underscores the correlation between the rise in traffic accidents and the consequential growth in the motor insurance market.

The dominant trend in the motor insurance market revolves around technological advancements, with major companies actively integrating advanced solutions into their insurance operations to enhance their market positioning. A case in point is XA Group, a technology company based in Dubai, which introduced Addenda, a digital platform leveraging blockchain technology. Launched in September 2022, Addenda is designed to facilitate the reconciliation of motor vehicle recovery receivables for insurers. XA Group aims to optimize the platform by ensuring it effectively manages crucial touchpoints in the automotive claims value chain, fostering connectivity among insurers, brokers, repairers, and customers. The company's strategy involves integrating existing products into the Addenda platform to further enhance its capabilities. This reflects a broader industry shift toward leveraging technology to streamline processes and improve overall efficiency within the motor insurance sector.

Prominent companies in the motor insurance market are actively innovating by introducing products such as pay-per-mile car insurance, also known as usage-based insurance. This innovative model allows drivers to pay a low monthly base rate along with a per-mile rate for the distance they drive. This approach is specifically tailored to benefit low-mileage drivers, providing a cost-effective alternative for individuals who don't use their vehicles frequently. A noteworthy example is Qualitas Compania de Seguros, a Mexico-based auto insurance company. In April 2023, Qualitas implemented Octo's driving behavior analytics for its commercial fleet insurance. This utilization of technology enables fleet owners to track vehicles, offer customers precise logistics information, and improve driver safety by leveraging real-time telematics data. The adoption of usage-based insurance and the integration of driving behavior analytics reflect the industry's commitment to leveraging innovation for more personalized, efficient, and data-driven insurance solutions.
