Usage-based insurance utilizes telematics technology often accessible in vehicles through plug-in devices or pre-installed systems, which can also be managed via mobile apps. This technology provides insurers with diverse data including distance traveled, driving behavior, and routes taken. It offers auto insurance services by employing monitoring devices within vehicles.
Vehicle types in usage-based insurance include light-duty vehicles (LDV) and heavy-duty vehicles (HDV). LDVs encompass passenger cars with a maximum gross vehicle weight of less than 8500 lbs. Various technologies such as OBD-II-based UBI programs, smartphone-based UBI programs, black-box-based UBI programs, and others are used in different packages such as pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), pay-how-you-drive (PHYD), and manage-how-you-drive (MHYD).

The usage-based insurance market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $63.07 billion in 2024 to $83.11 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in vehicle ownership, increasing occurrences of vehicle theft, robust demand for passenger car sales, and high adoption of connected cars.
The usage-based insurance market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $211.86 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing automotive industry, growing demand for electric vehicles, increasing concerns about vehicle safety, and a rapid use of usage-based insurance by insurance companies to improve profitability. Major trends in the forecast period include focusing on connected technologies, focusing on smartphone technology-based telematics platforms, focusing on telematics technology, focusing on partnerships and collaborations, and focusing on self-installed telematics devices.
The expansion of the automobile industry is expected to drive the growth of the usage-based insurance market in the coming years. The automotive industry encompasses a diverse range of businesses involved in the design, development, production, marketing, and sale of vehicles. Car owners are increasingly interested in telematics-driven usage-based insurance, as it offers lower premiums for safe driving and higher premiums for riskier behavior. This allows individuals to significantly reduce their insurance costs by improving their driving habits. For instance, in 2023, the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), a France-based international association of automobile manufacturers, reported notable growth in the global automotive industry, with total vehicle production reaching 93,546,599 units, a significant increase from the 85,016,728 units produced in 2022. Consequently, the growth in the automobile industry is driving the expansion of the usage-based insurance market.
Increasing concerns about road traffic and vehicle safety are expected to drive the growth of the usage-based insurance market. This type of insurance relies on telematics technology to calculate premiums and provide suggestions and real-time alerts to drivers, enhancing safety. There has been heightened attention on passenger safety due to a rise in road accidents globally. For example, in August 2022, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a US-based transportation agency, reported that 9,560 individuals were killed in road accidents in the first quarter of 2022, marking a 7% increase from 8,935 fatalities in 2021. These growing concerns about vehicle safety will likely increase demand for usage-based insurance, thereby driving market growth.
Companies in the usage-based insurance market are making substantial investments in connected technologies, which facilitate the connection of devices and systems via the internet. The focus on connected technologies is driven by the goal of providing enhanced products and services to customers. An illustrative example is the initiative by By Miles, a UK-based car insurance startup, in April 2022. By Miles launched the By Miles Connect platform, enabling connected car drivers to link their insurance policies directly from their vehicles. Utilizing the cloud platform installed in the vehicles, the platform gathers information about the distance driven to determine insurance pricing.
Partnerships and collaborations have become a prevalent trend among market players in the usage-based insurance sector. Companies are actively engaging in partnerships and collaborations to foster market growth and expand their consumer base. For instance, State Farm, a US-based insurance company, collaborated with Ford, a US-based automobile manufacturer, in February 2022 to launch the Drive Safe & Save program, a State Farm usage-based insurance initiative. This program allows customers to benefit from adjusted premiums based on vehicle mileage and driving behavior. State Farm customers with Ford or Lincoln vehicles can manage their overall vehicle ownership costs by reducing premiums through good driving behaviors or by improving their driving habits. Additionally, MSIG Thailand, an insurance company in Thailand, partnered with AIS Insurance Service, a Thailand-based digital technology company, in February 2021. Together, they launched Prakan Kubdee (Good Driving Insurance), a pay-as-you-drive insurance product in Thailand. This innovative product utilizes MSIG Car Informatics equipment, an IoT device developed by AIS, attached to the vehicle's onboard diagnostic port to calculate premiums based on real-time driving behavior. These partnerships exemplify the collaborative efforts within the usage-based insurance market to leverage technology for customer benefits and market expansion.
In October 2023, Allianz Partners, a US-based insurance company, partnered with Bolttech Management Limited to allow retailers and telecom providers to seamlessly integrate insurance products into customer experiences. This partnership aims to tackle the low penetration of non-life insurance in Asia and take advantage of the growing global market for extended warranties.
