Gig Economy Motor Insurance European Study
The first report to assess & forecast the motor insurance market for the European gig economy
Great market opportunities for gig economy motor insurance…
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, fast growing markets are hard to come by. So it gives PTOLEMUS great pleasure to announce the Gig Economy Motor Insurance European Study; its latest report that analyses and forecasts a major opportunity for commercial line insurers serving the so-called “gig workers”.
The motor insurance market serving the last-mile food delivery, courier and private- & public-hire taxi services, is set to explode over the next 10 years, to reach premiums of €5.8 billion by 2030.
The Gig Economy Motor Insurance European Study is the first comprehensive investigation of the European market for the insurance of scooters, cars and vans for the purpose of last-mile delivery, in both employed and self-employed markets. It brings 220 pages of insight, data, analyses and forecasts through to 2030.
As a result of the national lockdown restrictions imposed across Europe, demand for e-commerce and the associated delivery services has rocketed in the last 12 months, accelerating expansion plans of last-mile food delivery and courier services as they become embedded in the daily habits and requirements of businesses and families alike.
A perfect example of this is the food delivery service provider Deliveroo in the UK: in 2020, it attracted 20,000 new restaurants, it doubled its delivery workforce, and it plans to expand into 100 new towns and cities.
… great challenges for insurance companies
However, insuring the mobility of European gig workers presents considerable challenges for underwriters: short-term contracts, unpredictable workloads, drivers’ inability to afford high premiums and high claims frequency and severity. Some of these drivers are employed by the last mile provider while others are self-employed. Most commercial line insurers are ill-prepared to handle this complexity, diversity and unpredictability of risks.
A specific type of usage-based insurance (UBI) is emerging to better cover these risks: On-Demand Insurance (ODI) policies, which adapt to the daily patterns of gig workers. Both traditional insurers such as AXA and Wakam and new insurtechs such as Inshur, Qover and Zego, are starting to address this market.
