[186 Pages Report] The Usage-based Insurance Market size was estimated at USD 38.48 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 45.81 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 20.01% to reach USD 138.03 billion by 2030.
Usage-based insurance (UBI) is a type of auto insurance policy that calculates premiums based on the actual usage and driving behavior of the insured vehicle. Instead of using traditional factors such as age, gender, and location to determine rates, UBI relies on real-time data collected through telematics devices installed in the vehicle. The widespread adoption of connected cars equipped with advanced technologies such as telematics systems has made it easier for insurers to collect real-time data on driving patterns. Furthermore, increasing government regulations supporting road safety initiatives has significantly boosted the demand for usage-based insurance. However, privacy concerns related to the collection, storage, and use of personal driving data are a significant concern for many consumers. The UBI market’s expansion is impeded by a lack of standardization in telematics technology, making it challenging for insurers to offer consistent services across different devices. Furthermore, the ongoing advancements in big data analytics and artificial intelligence are expected to provide potential opportunities for growth in the UBI market. These technologies can enable companies to process vast amounts of data effectively and make informed decisions regarding pricing strategies, risk assessment models, and marketing campaigns targeting specific demographics. Additionally, rising consumer awareness regarding the benefits of usage-based insurance policies is expected to enhance demand for UBI.
Package Type: The proliferation of Manage-how-you-drive packages to improve driving behavior
Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) insurance is a need-based approach that emphasizes improving driving behavior through feedback and monitoring. It primarily targets drivers wanting to take a proactive role in enhancing their driving habits to reduce premiums. MHYD policies track key metrics such as speeding, hard braking, and cornering through telematics devices or mobile apps. Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) insurance is designed for motorists that cover shorter distances or drive less frequently. This model offers flexibility by charging premiums based on actual miles driven, making it an ideal choice for people with irregular or low-mileage driving patterns, such as retirees or urban dwellers. Pay-how-you-drive (PHYD) insurance combines the features of MHYD and PAYD, offering premium adjustments based on mileage and driving behavior. PHYD policies cater to customers seeking a more personalized and comprehensive approach to usage-based insurance.
Technology: Significant adoption of embedded systems due to their advanced features, such as emergency assistance or vehicle diagnostics
A black box is a small device installed in vehicles to record and analyze driving data. The information collected includes speed, distance, acceleration, braking patterns, and other essential parameters. A black box is primarily used by insurance companies to assess driver behavior and adjust premiums accordingly. An embedded system integrates software and hardware within a vehicle’s electronic control unit (ECU). This integrated system enables real-time monitoring of vehicle usage and driver behavior, which can be utilized by UBI providers for accurate risk assessment. On-board diagnostics (OBD-II) is a universal port in most vehicles manufactured since 1996. UBI providers use OBD-II devices to collect driving data for usage-based insurance programs. Smartphone-based UBI utilizes mobile applications to collect and analyze driving data using built-in sensors, including GPS, accelerometer, and gyroscope.
Vehicle Type: Growing potential across passenger cars due to its personalized premiums based on individual driver behavior
Commercial vehicles include trucks, vans, buses, and other vehicles used primarily for business. Companies operating fleets prefer UBI for its ability to reduce insurance costs while encouraging safer driving habits among their drivers. Key factors influencing the demand for usage-based insurance in this segment are operational efficiency, cost savings, and fleet management optimization. Passenger cars include sedans and minivans, where individuals primarily drive these vehicles for personal use. The primary factors driving the demand for usage-based insurance in this segment are personalized premiums based on actual driving habits, potential cost savings, and increased awareness of safe driving practices.
Device Offering: The significant popularity of BYOD among insurers due to its cost-effective implementation and flexibility
Bring your own device (BYOD) allows policyholders to use their existing smartphones, telematics devices, or OBD-II dongles to track their driving behavior data. The UBI solution provider enables the integration of these devices with their platform through dedicated apps or APIs. In company-provided schemes, insurers partner with telematics service providers to supply customers with dedicated devices, including OBD-II dongles and black boxes. These devices record driving behavior data used by insurers to offer personalized premiums. The company-provided devices typically have a higher accuracy in data collection and can provide additional value-added services for vehicle diagnostics and maintenance.
