Philippines Motor Insurance Market Growth
In March 2024, the Insurance Commission (IC) of the Philippines amended its scheme of Compulsory Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance by increasing third-party benefits without a corresponding increase in premium rates. This includes an increase in death indemnity coverage (including funeral and burial expenses), which has nearly tripled from PhP 70,000 to PhP 200,000. The coverage of no-fault indemnity has doubled from PhP 15,000 to PhP 30,000. In case of death or sustenance of bodily injuries on the part of the insured, the insurer is liable to pay a sum of PhP 10,000. This is expected to reduce the risk of financial loss or instability for Filipinos, where road accidents are a major risk factor for preventable fatalities, which surged by 3.4% in 2022.
The increasing preference for eco-friendly modes of transportation is expected to accelerate the ownership of EVs in the Philippines. Due to a reduction in tariff rates, the sale of electric vehicles surged by nearly 500% in the Philippines between 2022 and 2023. As per the Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP), overall EV sales by 2030 are expected to reach nearly 6.6 million units in the country. This is expected to raise the demand for motor insurance over the forecast period.
