Usage-Based Insurance Market Research, 2032

The global usage-based insurance market was valued at $26.8 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $267.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 26.2% from 2023 to 2032.

Usage-based insurance is called telematics insurance, which is known for the insurance policy that analyses the premium based on the usage of a vehicle or consumer driving behavior. User-based insurance includes various technologies, such as onboard diagnostic (OBD) II, black box, and smartphones. It effortlessly examines the reason for an accident, improves customer loyalty, and reduces claim fraud.

Usage-Based Insurance Market Insights

Growing adoption of usage-based insurance among the end user owing to its various features such as providing accurate and timely data collection methods and flexible insurance premiums boosts the growth of the global usage-based insurance market. In addition, factors such as the higher possibility of the vehicle being recovered, in case of stolen, and lower fuel consumption have positively impacted the growth of the market. However, the high installation cost of telematics and various data security issues are expected to hamper the market growth. On the contrary, the adoption of advanced technology such as smartphone-based UBI & hybrid-based UBI and an increase in concerns regarding driver‐™s safety across the globe is expected to offer remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the market during the forecast period. Each of these factors is projected to have a definite impact on the growth of the usage-based insurance market forecast.

Top Impacting Factors

Rise in Adoption of Usage-based Insurance Among end Users

Accurate and timely data collection is among the major factors that boost the growth of the UBI market. It allows insurers to price premiums more accurately, which increases affordability for lower-risk drivers. In addition, it provides consumers with a record of all their trips or miles covered during a particular period. The surge in acceptance of telematics devices and the rise in popularity of pay-as-you-drive insurance plans help to drive market expansion. Telematics devices permit insurers to collect complete data on a policyholder's driving conduct, it offers extra modified coverage.

Data sets can represent about 5 to 15MB of data annually, per policyholder, depending on the frequency and length of trips taken. An insurer with 100,000 insured vehicles can collect more than one terabyte of data per year. The type of data recorded and transmitted from cars vary according to the telematics technology chosen by policyholders. Thus, to manage large amounts of telematics data obtained from automated cars, many insurance service providers are adopting usage-based insurance, which drives the growth of the usage-based insurance market.

Flexible Insurance Premiums

UBI service enables consumers to control their premium cost as per their desire. Premium cost can be reduced by limiting miles driven and adopting safer driving habits. UBI has grown in popularity as a pay-as-you-drive insurance plan. These plans give an additional affordable method to insure vehicle. The introduction of flexible insurance premiums in UBI enhances the attractiveness of such policies among consumers, promotes safer driving habits, and contributes to the overall growth and adoption of usage-based insurance market. Fewer miles and safer driving aid in reducing accidents, congestion, and vehicle emissions, which benefits society. In the year 2018, around 16 million consumers globally subscribed to UBI. These benefits propel the insurance market to rapidly increase the availability of telematics based UBI programs, which, in turn, boosts usage-based insurance market growth.

Restraints

Data Security Issues

Driving behavior of drivers such as when they drive, where they drive, and how long they drive is monitored using telematics devices that are usually self-installed in a special vehicle port. It discloses personal information and thus raises privacy concerns among individuals, which is expected to restrain market growth. Insurance companies need to guarantee that they are clear about how they use customer data and that customers understand them. Insurance companies need to confirm that customer data is protected and sheltered from potential cyber threats, which is not done by most insurance companies and causes privacy problems, as a result, it hinders the market of usage-based insurance market. Furthermore, growth in cyberattacks on various automotive and insurance industries across developing nations of Asia-Pacific hampers growth of the usage-based insurance market.

High Installation Cost of Telematics

Existing car telematics systems such as General Motor‐™s OnStar, Lexus‐™ Link, and BMW‐™s Assist offer a wide range of services such as remote diagnostics, roadside assistance, emergency response, and stolen vehicle location services. However, high costs of telematics installation have temporarily interrupted growth of the usage-based insurance market. UBI programs rely heavily on costly technology to capture and prepare driving data, which has moved insurers to generate new price structures to maintain profitability. As a result, the affordability of usage-based insurance becomes a challenge for many individuals seeking cost-effective insurance options. As a result, it is expected to hinder the market of usage-based insurance market.

Opportunities

Adoption of Advanced Technology in UBI

New technology is anticipated to unfold attractive business opportunities for the UBI market. UBI programs are expanding owing to accurate & lower premium rates calculated through telematics device. Car insurance providers are increasingly leveraging insurance telematics and smartphone technologies to reduce claim-related costs. By capturing data on factors such as car acceleration, turns, braking, speed, and driver distraction, mobile telematics enables blockchain technology to provide a secure and transparent way to store and manage data. This shift toward smartphone-centric solutions allows real-time monitoring and analysis of driving behavior, facilitating personalized insurance premiums based on individual driving habits, and promoting safer driving practices, which creates an opportunity for usage-based insurance market. Insurers have offered premium discounts to consumers to include other value-added services in their offerings. The discounted rate was aimed to gain consumer loyalty and strengthen its market presence. It made the insurance plans easy and convenient with decreased premium cost, which is anticipated to attract consumers and generate new business opportunity for the insurers.
