The motor insurance market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been significant growth in the motor insurance market in the past few years. The market, which stood at $877.75 billion in 2024, is predicted to expand to $960.69 billion in 2025 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.4%.
The notable growth in the historical period is a result of the increase in car ownership, obligatory regulations, urbanization and traffic congestion, risk management and fiscal safeguard, and requisite needs for lending and financing.
The motor insurance market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for robust expansion in the motor insurance market over the coming years, with projections suggesting it will reach a value of $1390.63 billion in 2029, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%.
This anticipated growth during the forecast period is largely driven by technological advancements in telematics, the rise of electric and autonomous vehicles, emphasis on environmental sustainability, the use of data analytics and predictive modeling, and a shift towards on-demand and usage-based insurance. Key trends projected during this period include a focus on environmental sustainability, the implementation of biometric authentication in policy management, personalized premiums derived from behavioral data, regulatory compliance matters, and groundbreaking innovations in insurtech, with an overall emphasis on delivering customer-centric service models.
The growth of the motor insurance market is anticipated to surge with the rise in the number of vehicles on the road. Various types of automobiles such as cars, buses, and trucks that utilize an energy source for movement, serving the purpose of transporting passengers and goods over land are being insured more for protection against potential financial losses. This subsequently stirs up demand for motor insurance, primarily due to the advantages that it brings, like covering costs for an injured individual, medical expenses, lost earnings, automobile repairs, and other properties damaged during an incident. For instance, based on data from Statistics Canada in November 2023, a slight growth in the total registered motor vehicles on roads was observed in 2022, with the count hitting 26.3 million, marking a 0.3% increase from the year before, equal to a surge of 78,655 units. Hence, this escalation in the amount of vehicles on the roads significantly contributes to the motor insurance market's growth.
