Auto insurance is an insurance policy for cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other road vehicles that protects customers against financial loss in the event of an accident or theft of vehicles and provides property coverage, liability coverage, and medical coverage. Furthermore, auto insurance is one of the largest revenue sources in the general insurance industry and accounted more than 35% in overall insurance premium collection. Most of the states require drivers to have compulsory auto insurance, which means new automobile purchases constitute a major proportion of the premiums. The automobile sector is already facing slowdown during 2019-2020 and further continues to decline due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Owing to the reduction in income and travel restrictions, customers are seeking for bailouts or refunds on premiums. To increase sale in this period, many major auto insurance companies in the U.S. and the UK have refunded 10-15% of annual premiums to customers. In India, the finance ministry has extended the validity of the third-party insurance policies, which increases the business of renewal during the lockdown.
Rise in number of accidents, stringent government regulation for the adoption of auto insurance, and increase in automobile sales globally due to increase in per capita income of consumers acts as the major driving forces of the global auto insurance market. However, adoption of autonomous vehicles hampers the growth of the market. On the contrary, implementation of technologies in existing product & service lines and surge in demand for third-party liability coverage in emerging economies are expected to provide potential opportunity for the market expansion during the forecast period.
