Africa Automotive Insurance Market – Overview
Automobile insurance is a contract between the owner of the car—referred to as the insured—and the insurance provider—referred to as the insurer—that protects the insured from financial losses in the event of an accident or car theft. Automobile insurance is also known as vehicle insurance or motor insurance. Vehicle insurance covers all types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other commercial vehicles. Its main objective is to offer financial protection against potential liability as well as the physical harm and property damage caused by traffic collisions. In addition to providing financial security against collisions, keying, natural disasters, and collisions with nearby structures, vehicle insurance may also provide coverage against theft and damage to vehicles.
Opportunity: Introduction of cutting-edge technologies
With the advent of innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), traditional auto insurance policies have given way to usage-based policies. Sensors in vehicles use these cutting-edge technologies to track the driver's habits and driving style. When the insurance company receives this information, it adjusts the insurance premium accordingly. These new telematics-based insurance policies, which are rapidly gaining popularity, are stimulating the global automotive insurance market.
Impact of COVID-19 on Africa Automotive Insurance Market
The recent COVID-19 pandemic outbreak affected the automotive sector and its supply chains. Government regulations hindered vehicle sales and decreased demand in the automotive insurance market by requiring automakers to temporarily close their facilities to stop the spread of coronavirus infection. However, it is anticipated that the automotive industry will pick up steam in the upcoming years as businesses begin to operate again and governments impose various relief measures and lift restrictions. The market for auto insurance is anticipated to be stimulated by this.
