Summary
At a time when COVID-19 is changing consumer behavior, this report explores how purchasing preferences have changed over time. It discovers what is most influential to customers when purchasing a motor insurance policy and also reveals the most popular providers in the market. New trends and innovations are highlighted, as well as the key factors that will influence the private motor insurance market over the next few years.
Price comparison websites (PCWs) are now the most common avenue for buying motor insurance, having grown their share. COVID-19 has impacted the finances of many consumers, meaning some will have been more inclined to look for motor insurance deals through PCWs. In turn, the proportion of sales accounted for by insurers directly (previously the leading channel) declined.
