The Global Usage-Based Insurance (UBI) Market was valued at USD 52.1 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 24% from 2024 to 2032. UBI, a form of auto insurance, employs in-vehicle communication systems to track mileage and driving behaviors. Telematics systems provide detailed insights into driving habits and safety measures, enabling insurers to adjust premiums in real time according to perceived risks. Insurers can customize premiums based on actual driving behaviors-using metrics like total mileage, travel time, GPS location, acceleration, braking, and airbag deployment-thereby reducing fraudulent claims. The rising adoption of these connected insurance solutions, aimed at minimizing unexpected claims and encouraging safer driving, is poised to boost the industry's market share.
The overall usage-based insurance (UBI) industry is classified based on the package, technology, vehicle, vehicle age, distribution channel, and region.
The market segments include OBD-II, Black Box, Smartphone, and Embedded telematics. OBD-II dominated in 2023, holding over 49% of the market share. With the rising trend of connected cars and the influx of driver data, telematics technology has emerged as a cornerstone. It enables insurance providers to harness vast information, spanning driving habits, maintenance requirements, and vehicle performance. As connected car technology gains traction, upcoming vehicles are set to integrate data connections. These advancements will provide insurers with comprehensive usage and location data, crucial for formulating UBI policies.
The market is divided into passenger and commercial vehicles. The passenger vehicle segment is projected to surpass USD 285.9 billion by 2032. Given their prevalent use among individuals, passenger vehicles dominate the automotive landscape. This widespread ownership translates to a heightened demand for UBI products tailored to individual drivers. The telematics-based UBI model is especially apt for passenger vehicles, allowing insurers to adjust premiums based on specific driving traits-like speed and braking-that are more pertinent to personal cars than commercial fleets.
In 2023, North America commanded a dominant position, representing over 40% of the market. The region's surging demand for UBI insurance is fueled by a growing appetite for personalized insurance solutions and a robust telematics infrastructure. Additionally, favorable government regulations encouraging the adoption of telematics-based insurance have further bolstered market growth. The widespread use of connected cars equipped with advanced telematics systems has also contributed to the region's market leadership. Moreover, increasing awareness among consumers about the benefits of usage-based insurance, such as cost savings and tailored policies, has driven demand.
