Usually, it includes automobiles, trucks, motorbikes, and other road vehicles.
Philippines Motor Insurance Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Drivers: The Insurance Commission keeps pushing for more innovation and digitization by encouraging better customer service and more suitable products, which raises the penetration rate of insurance. Insurtech, or insurance technology, has become a popular tool used by insurance firms to better service their expanding clientele. To promote the use of insurtech, the Insurance Commission published a policy statement that permits insurance companies to market their policies through mobile applications and offer flexible payment methods in place of conventional ones, provided that certain security requirements are met. Recent years have seen the introduction of self-service dashboards, chatbots, email notifications, digitization of some aspects of the claims process, and insurance comparison tools that help customers find the best offer.
Challenges: The Philippine auto insurance market is confronted with some noteworthy challenges. One of the primary issues is the quantity of uninsured vehicles on the road, which increases the risks and costs for drivers who have insurance. This is exacerbated by the fact that many drivers run cars without the required insurance because insurance laws and regulations are not strictly enforced. The expense of premiums is another problem, as many drivers may find them to be too costly, particularly in a country with such a stark income divide. The protracted and delayed claims filing and settlement procedures usually cause policyholders to become dissatisfied.
