Automobile Insurance Carriers Global Market Report 2025

An automobile insurance carrier is a company specializing in providing insurance coverage for vehicles. Its responsibilities encompass managing claims processes and facilitating payments, often utilizing insurance agents in its employ to arrange payments on behalf of the carrier.

The primary coverages within automobile insurance involve third-party liability coverage, alongside collision, comprehensive, and optional coverages. Third-party liability pertains to individuals not directly involved in the insurance policy. The vehicles covered include both light commercial vehicles (LCV) and heavy commercial vehicles (HCV), such as trucks and buses. Distribution of automobile insurance occurs through various channels, including insurance agents, direct response methods, banks, and other distribution channels.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a considerable impact on the financial sector, particularly in the areas of investment strategies and risk management. The increased tariffs have intensified market volatility, leading institutional investors to adopt more cautious approaches and driving greater demand for hedging solutions. Banks and asset managers are encountering higher costs in cross-border transactions as disrupted global supply chains and declining corporate earnings weigh on equity market performance. At the same time, insurance providers are facing elevated claims risks linked to supply chain interruptions and trade-related business losses. Furthermore, reduced consumer spending and weaker export demand are limiting credit growth and dampening investment appetite. In response to these challenges, the sector must focus on diversification, accelerate digital transformation, and strengthen scenario planning to manage the heightened economic uncertainty and safeguard profitability.

The automobile insurance carriers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $936.73 billion in 2024 to $1028.91 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to motorization and vehicle ownership growth, legal requirements and regulatory compliance, population and urbanization trends, rise in traffic accidents and collisions, economic growth and affordability.

The automobile insurance carriers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1605.51 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to continued vehicle ownership growth, evolution of legal and regulatory landscape, urban mobility challenges, changing consumer behavior and preferences, economic trends and affordability factors. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on cybersecurity, climate change impact and catastrophe modeling, customer-centric services, regulatory compliance and changes, integration of big data analytics.

The forecast of 11.8% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through rising claim processing costs, as tariffs on AI-powered damage assessment software and telematics devices, predominantly imported from Israel and Sweden, increase operational overhead for insurers. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increasing number of accidents is anticipated to drive the growth of the automotive insurance carrier market in the future. A traffic or road accident is characterized as an unfortunate event that can lead to injury, damage, or even death unexpectedly. Automotive insurance companies provide financial protection to customers through their insurance policies, covering damages to vehicles resulting from accidents or incidents. Consequently, the rise in accident frequency is fueling the growth of the automotive insurance carrier market. For instance, in January 2024, a report from The Road Safety Authority, an Ireland-based government agency, indicated an increase in road fatalities across various user groups in Ireland compared to 2022. Specifically, there were increases among drivers (+13), passengers (+12), motorcyclists (+4), pedal cyclists (+2), pedestrians (+1), and other road users (+1). The average monthly death toll rose from 13 in 2022 to 16 in 2023. Therefore, the rising number of accidents is driving demand in the automotive insurance carriers market.

The automotive insurance carrier market is poised for growth, driven by the expansion of the automotive industry. This sector encompasses various activities related to motor vehicles, including design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and repair. Automotive insurance carriers play a pivotal role in providing financial protection to car owners and drivers in the event of accidents, alleviating the financial burden on individuals and businesses. Notably, in August 2023, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System reported an increase in total vehicle production in the United States to 11.77 million units in July 2023, up from 10.91 million units in June 2023. This growth in automotive sales contributes to the rising demand for automotive insurance carriers.

A notable trend in the automotive insurance carriers market is the emphasis on product innovations. Companies within this market are actively adopting innovative strategies to enhance their market position. For instance, in January 2023, New India Assurance (NIA), a general insurance company based in India, introduced the Pay as You Drive (PAYD) policy. This innovative policy allows policyholders to save money through renewal premium discounts, provided their vehicles stay within specified kilometers. Furthermore, if a vehicle exceeds the predetermined limit, coverage will persist for the remaining policy duration. Product innovations such as PAYD are indicative of the dynamic landscape within the automotive insurance carriers market, reflecting a commitment to meeting evolving customer needs.

Prominent players in the automotive insurance carriers' market are strategically investing in technological advancements, particularly the development of mobile telematics-based auto insurance, to secure a competitive advantage. Mobile telematics-based auto insurance, commonly referred to as usage-based insurance (UBI), leverages mobile technology to monitor and assess a driver's behavior. In a notable example, Edelweiss General Insurance, an Indian non-life insurance provider, introduced SWITCH in July 2022. This on-demand policy enables customers to purchase and renew coverage as needed, with premiums calculated based on the insured's driving habits tracked through telematics. The policy not only determines premiums but also offers feedback to policyholders regarding their driving behavior.

In September 2024, Sentry Insurance, a US-based insurance firm, acquired The General for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move is designed to diversify Sentry's portfolio and broaden its customer base within the expanding segment of auto insurance specifically aimed at higher-risk drivers. The General is a US-based company that offers non-standard auto insurance solutions.
