According to a recent report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Home Warranty Service Market by Distribution Channel, Type, Sales Channel and Application: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030,” the home warranty services market was valued at $7.3 billion in 2020, and is expected to reach $13.6 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.3% from 2021 to 2030.

Home warranty is a service offered by developers that cover the cost of structural defects in homes caused due to natural calamities or poor construction quality. It further covers repair and replacement costs of appliances such as fans, ACs, and fittings, which come with a furnished flat. When an appliance or system is damaged, the homeowner contacts the home warranty provider. The warranty company usually works in unison with one or more home service providers, such as plumbing or electrical contractors. After being notified of a claim, the warranty company requests services from one of its partnered providers, who will assess the damage and subsequently provide a report to the warrantor. The assessment report reveals the extent and potential causes of damage to the appliance. The home warranty company confirms if the policyholder’s contract covers the appliance or system for the assessed damage. If approved, the warrantor employs the contractor to repair or replace the system.

The growth of the home warranty service market is majorly driven benefits associated with warranty services such as protection of appliances and home systems in case of damage or breakdown as well as availability of free of cost service or minimal amount payment to servicing firms. In addition, rise in awareness among people to opt for home warranty services to prevent high repairing and maintenance costs of home systems and appliances notably contributes toward the growth of the global market. However, several hidden charges and implementation of terms & conditions by home warranty service providers make the service costly post maintenance or repair work is carried out. On the contrary, the expenditure on systems installed at homes and specific commercial spaces is being covered under home warranty services in emerging countries, which is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of the home warranty service market.
