UK Insurance Aggregators 2024


Summary

This report explores ever-changing consumer purchasing behaviors through price comparison websites. It identifies the most influential factors for customers when selecting a policy through this channel. The report discusses the brand strategies and marketing approaches of the four leading sites. It also compares quotes provided by the leading aggregators for selected risk profiles across the key life and non-life insurance lines.

Motor and home insurance remain the policies most commonly acquired via price comparison websites (PCWs), despite witnessing downturns of 3 percentage points (pp) and 2.7pp in purchasing activity in 2023. However, the use of PCWs for research purposes is growing, with an increase observed in five of the seven lines of business. This trend is likely driven by the current cost-of-living crisis, which has compelled consumers to seek out increased value on these platforms. However, it is important to note that while research on PCWs has increased, the likelihood of consumers finalizing a purchase through these sites has diminished compared to 2022.

Scope
  • The leading reason consumers chose a PCW was because they had used it before, with 61.7% of consumers citing this factor.
  • Consumers are increasingly using a PCW to conduct research. For example, 69.2% of motor insurance customers did so in 2023.
  • Compare the Market is the leading PCW within both non-life and life insurance, holding 49.3% and 43.7% shares respectively.

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.
