Automotive Telematics Insurance Market: An Insight On the Important Factors and

Posted by Harshad Borde on May 29th, 2019

Automotive telematics insurance is a motor insurance cover customized by monitoring real-time driving and underwriting the risk. Telematics insurance comprises a SIM card, motion sensor, GPS system, and a computer module. The telematics insurance device, also called black-box, is fitted in the OBD-II portal of the vehicle. The device captures and transfers real-time data of the vehicle to the insurance company in order to track the vehicle and analyze the accident risks based on route of commute, speed of vehicle, miles driven, and late hour ride.

Demand for low insurance premium among consumers is primarily driving the automotive telematics insurance market. Several consumers who seldom use their vehicles, do not use highways, and drive at safer speeds and have a lower risk of accidents; however, they end up paying the same premium as other customers who are insured with higher accidental risk. Therefore, telematics insurance enables such riders to be charged at lower premiums.

Insurance companies can attract low risk drivers and can positively reduce claim expenses by employing telematics. The automotive telematics insurance market is driven by the necessity of insurance companies to underwrite the risk effectively, and to be able to maintain actuarial reserves. Rising trend of vehicle connectivity is driving the automotive telematics insurance market. Mandates on adoption of telematics by governments, such as eCall in Europe, are driving the automotive telematics insurance market.
