In 2022, the UK extended warranty market was valued at $3.54 billion. It is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 9.9%, reaching approximately $8.93 billion by 2032. Extended warranty, also known as a service agreement, service contract, or a maintenance agreement, refers to policy that extends the warranty period of consumer durable goods beyond what is provided by manufacturers to consumers on purchase of new items. If the damage is caused by manufacturing faults or low quality, it often covers the expenses of repair or replacement of the product. Extended warranty is generally provided for automobile and electronic & electrical appliances, and is usually offered by the manufacturer, retailer, or third-party service provider.
Increased awareness of extended warranty policies among consumers has led to the development of extended warranty in the insurance market. The rise in extended warranty usage is driven by the need to protect expensive items against unexpected repairs or replacements of parts. As more individuals invest in electronic devices and appliances, the demand for extended warranty services grows, contributing to the expansion of the market for extended warranties.
However, introduction of automotive analytics and early warning system in vehicles, is one of the key factors restraining the growth of the extended warranty market. On the contrary, the expansion of complex and sophisticated product and service are fostering the demand for additional warranty coverage, which is likely to pave growth opportunities for the UK market. In addition, the untapped potential of emerging economies is providing lucrative opportunities for the market growth during the forecast period.
