UK Household Insurance: Distribution Dynamics 2024

Summary

This report explores purchasing preferences within the UK household insurance market. It discovers what is most influential to customers when purchasing a household insurance policy and reveals the market’s most popular providers. New trends and innovations are highlighted, as well as the key factors that will influence the market over the next few years.

In 2024, insurers led the distribution of combined insurance, followed by price comparison websites (PCWs). Sales via banks and PCWs grew by 0.6 percentage points (pp) and 1pp, respectively, in 2024. These increases are likely due to banks enhancing their digital presence in this product space, as well as consumers being increasingly focused on premium pricing amid the UK’s cost-of-living crisis.

Scope
  • In the combined insurance segment, all research methods saw an uptick in usage in 2024 compared to 2023, with the exception of customers calling their existing provider for combined insurance policies. This highlights that consumers are increasingly trying to find the best deals as premiums increase and the cost-of-living crisis persists.
  • 41.6% of customers chose to renew their combined policy with their current insurer after comparing prices, while 28.7% automatically renewed. In both cases, this represented a 0.3pp decline compared to 2023.
  • In 2024, four providers featured within the top 10 across all three household insurance segments: Aviva, Admiral, AXA/AXA Assistance, and LV=.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
