Global Automotive Telematics Insurance Market 2017-2019: Growth Rate is Expected to be 245%

DUBLIN, Dec. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Global Automotive Telematics Insurance Market: Focus on Usage-based Insurance (UBI), Smartphone, Hardwired, OBD, Aftermarket, OEM Fitment, Supply Chain, Passenger Vehicle, and Commercial Vehicle - Analysis and Forecast, 2018-2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The innovation in the automotive ecosystem is led by connected car technology which is an essential part of the smart vehicle architecture. The increasing number of research and development (R&D) activities for autonomous driving has resulted in significant demand for the emerging technology in the market. Telematics is a smart solution which connects a vehicle to a data/analytics center, thus enabling the tracking of its condition during various operations. The advanced level of telematics is the integration of human psychology or human behavior with data collected in real time.

A major emerging market within the automotive telematics industry is the insurance market. Automotive telematics insurance has been in the market since the 1990's, though its penetration level in the conventional insurance domain has been very low. Since 2005, market activities, such as emerging technological players in Europe and North America, growth in telematics system in vehicles, advancement of smartphone capabilities, and low cost of networking and communication, have led to exponential market growth. The growth of social media has resulted in a higher application-based online user time, thus widening the scope of app-based smartphone services. Significant countries which have deployed automotive telematics insurance are the U.S., the U.K., Italy, Canada, Singapore, and Japan, among others.

The automotive industry faces several issues such as control on environmental emissions, growing road safety concerns, and cost optimization of various resources within the supply chain - all of which together account for a major share of research investment. These issues can be resolved by understanding the customers' (drivers) and their driving ecosystem. In-cabin smart service integration is one of the solutions that aim to reduce a commuter's effort to perform various activities while traveling in the vehicle. The key for the automotive industry is telematics, which has the ability to drive smart vehicle system design. Telematics is a platform of communication which collects data from a vehicle in real time and transmits it to the data analytics center from which the data is then processed and sent back to the vehicle as per the selected service application.

There are several threats which the automotive insurance market has to deal with. The automotive insurance market has not witnessed any major innovation since the time of its inception. A conventional insurer safeguards itself by modifying the policy underwriting and premium recalculation processes. The overall insurance process and product structure have remained the same with no evident struggle for change/innovation. The prime reason for it is that an insurance policy for automotive vehicle is a necessity (as regulated by regional government). The need for change was pushed into the conventional automotive insurance market by some of the outside third-party telematics players during the 1990s. Octo Telematics was one of the leading players which led the market for telematics-based insurance products in the initial phase of the revolution. A telematics insurance market in the automotive domain is very complex with a high rate of co-dependency.

Factors which have compelled the insurers to integrate telematics solution in their services are:

• Growing numbers of fraud automotive insurance claims
• The need for optimizing the premium pricing policies based on actual driving behaviors
• To identify driving behavior and implement an analogy for self-correction for driving improvement

Telematics insurance is expected to grow into a mainstream automotive insurance option. In the current market ecosystem, the major drivers for the global automotive telematics insurance market are dominated by the growth in technology reforms in vehicle design, thus enabling the integration of various smart services. Some of the drivers for the industry are high customer engagement through usage-based insurance (UBI), which offers better pricing and feature flexibility for end users, growing number of fraud claims, and increasing insurance premium.

Some of the major challenges for the industry are data management and automotive insurance industry's resistance to the innovative model. The automotive telematics insurance market has a low penetration ratio in the automotive insurance market majorly due to misconceptions such as the insurance claim process, the data recording and tracking methods, and privacy issues, among others.

Many of the developing economies such as China, India, and others strive in the automobile sector for a growing GDP. The global volumes of automotive vehicles are expected to grow at a CAGR of 3% during the forecast period. The global parked vehicle volume is one of the keys to analyze the global potential of the automotive telematics insurance market. The following figure depicts the recorded volume for 2016 and 2017 and expected volume for the forecast 2018-2022. The global parked vehicle volume is expected to increase at a sustained growth rate. A high gradient for Passenger Vehicle (PV) indicates higher growth as compared to Commercial Vehicle (CV).

In 2017, the global automotive telematics insurance market volume was estimated 24.7 million units, which is expected to reach 169.8 million units by 2022. Factors owing to this growth are an increase in the availability of digital technology, growing safety concerns related to driving behavior, and an increase in the competition in the automotive insurance market, among others. The estimated CAGR for the forecast period 2018-2022 is 37.20%.

The market estimation considers a detailed, in-depth analysis of factors impacting various regional markets and industrial trends. The highest growth period is 2017-2019, and the estimated cumulative growth rate for the period would be ~245%, which is led by the surge in the number of new market entrants and automotive telematics insurance product launches.
