Rising Demand for Digital Insurance Platforms
The significant shift towards digitalization, driven by increasing internet penetration and smartphone usage is majorly driving the India motor insurance market growth. A report indicates that 84% of smartphone users in India examine their devices within 15 minutes of rising, dedicating 31% of their waking hours to smartphone usage. The duration of time spent on smartphones has increased significantly, rising from 2 hours in 2010 to 4.9 hours in 2023, with an average of 80 checks per day. Motor insurance consumption via online platforms is growing in popularity as consumers are now drawn to the ease, transparency, and quick processing of these platforms for their motor insurance policy purchase and management. Technology is helping insurers improve customer experiences by providing features such as immediate policy issuance, digital documentation, and real-time claim resolutions. Moreover, AI and ML implementation allows timely policy recommendations and dynamic pricing. This change has also been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, with customers leaning more towards contactless interactions. Innovation is a key driver in this transformation, with insurtech startups taking the lead in bringing solutions such as usage-based insurance (UBI) and telematics. This shift in the insurance landscape means that legacy insurers are either partnering with technology companies or building their own digital assets to stay competitive in this changing landscape.
Growing Adoption of Electric Vehicle (EV) Insurance
With the Indian government's push towards electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce carbon emissions, the market is adapting to cater to this emerging segment. Therefore, this is creating a positive India motor Insurance market outlook. According to a research report by the IMARC Group, the India electric vehicles market value was USD 2,361.0 Million in 2024. The market is also expected to reach USD 164,420.4 Million by 2033, at a rate of 57.23% CAGR between 2025 and 2033. EVs have unique coverage needs, with specialized components such as batteries and charging systems that require tailored coverage options. Insurers are rolling out dedicated EV insurance to cover damage to the battery, the risk of charging, and other liabilities unique to EVs. This trend is also reinforced by falling prices for EVs and government incentives, including subsidies and tax breaks. Additionally, with the emergence of new EV manufacturers and charging infrastructure providers, there are new opportunities for insurers to partner and provide a more bundled offering. With the growing acceptance of EVs, the need for customized insurance will see exponential growth, thus making it one of the most important growth levers for Indian motor insurance. Among other things, insurers are exploring data-based ways to price risk and set premiums on EVs so that profitability remains sustainable in this niche market.
