The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the increased longevity of vehicles, heightened consumer awareness, the complexity of vehicle systems, the desire for peace of mind, and the growth of the used car market.

The auto extended warranty market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.14 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the escalation of repair costs, increased market competition, the offering of customized warranty plans, developments in lease and finance structures, and regulatory changes.

The anticipated surge in automotive production is set to drive the growth of the auto extended warranty market. Automotive production encompasses various aspects, including design, development, manufacturing, and maintenance of motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Auto extended warranties play a crucial role in supporting automotive production by fostering consumer confidence, promoting brand loyalty, and encouraging adherence to higher manufacturing standards. Manufacturers, striving to minimize warranty claims and ensure long-term customer satisfaction, benefit from increased consumer trust in purchasing vehicles. For example, in May 2023, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) reported a global production of 85.4 million automotive vehicles in 2022, signifying a 5.7% increase from 2021. Hence, the escalating demand for automotive production is a driving force behind the growth of the auto extended warranty market.

The auto extended warranty market is expected to witness growth due to the rising costs associated with vehicle repairs. Vehicle repairs involve actions taken to fix or restore a vehicle to its proper working condition. As vehicles age, they become more susceptible to breakdowns, making extended warranties valuable for covering repair costs beyond the original manufacturer's warranty. The increasing expense of vehicle repairs, as reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis in October 2023, reflects a 17% rise in 2022. Concerns about car repairs were expressed by around 34% of 584 survey respondents in the same year. Consequently, the escalating costs of vehicle repairs propel the growth of the auto extended warranty market.

The auto extended warranty market faces challenges stemming from consumer perception and trust issues. Consumers often harbor suspicions regarding the value and reliability of extended warranty policies, creating a barrier to adoption. Negative experiences, including misunderstandings about hidden costs, denied claims, or restricted coverage, contribute to diminished consumer faith in the industry. In July 2023, the Federal Trade Commission took legal action against operators engaged in a telemarketing scheme offering fake extended automobile warranties. The proposed court decree barred the accused from participating in outbound telemarketing activities and providing extended automotive warranties. Consequently, consumer perception and trust difficulties pose constraints on the growth of the auto extended warranty market.

Major companies in the market are concentrating on introducing innovative auto extended warranties to drive market revenues.

The warranty, applicable to Skoda vehicles within seven years of age and less than 130,000 kilometers, is transferable to the next owner, fostering flexibility and customer benefits.
