UK Private Motor Insurance Market Dynamics
The growing demand for embedded insurance, rising demand for autonomous vehicles and e-scooters, and revision in the Ogden Rate (also known as the discount rate) are a few trends that are likely to impact the UK private motor insurance market.
It is widely anticipated that UK motor insurance will be most disrupted by embedded insurance. This presents both opportunities and challenges for traditional insurers. Those who can adapt and innovate are poised to thrive in this changing landscape, where customer-centric, data-driven, and customized insurance solutions are becoming increasingly popular. For instance, Tesla is a leading example of embedded motor insurance. Tesla Insurance offers competitive and comprehensive coverage specifically tailored to Tesla vehicle owners. This enables Tesla to eliminate additional charges typically imposed by traditional insurance carriers.
UK Private Motor Insurance Market Segmentation by Channels
The preferred channels used by customers when purchasing private motor insurance in the UK private motor insurance market are insurers, Price Comparison Websites (PCW), brokers, and banks among others. The insurer and PCW channels accounted for over 66% of private motor insurance purchases in 2023. The purchases through insurers declined marginally compared to 2022 due to increased premium rates amid high inflation. This trend pushed customers towards guidance from brokers. Brokers, the third-most preferred channel in 2023 was supported by demand for advice during the cost-of-living crisis.
However, visiting PCW before purchasing a motor insurance policy is the most popular pre-purchase activity undertaken by consumers, thanks to the increased availability of product-related information on providers’ websites and consumers’ preferences for research-based decisions. This ongoing trend is likely to make PCWs the most preferred channel for purchasing insurance products in 2024.
