UBI North America Study
The Usage-Based Insurance North America Study is PTOLEMUS’ reference market report on the state and future of connected insurance in the USA and Canada.
Building on 15 years of UBI consulting experience and 9 months of research and analysis, this 680-page study delivers unparalleled insight into telematics insurance trends, technologies, and business models across the region.
The most comprehensive report ever published on telematics insurance in North America
This reference study —based on 65 executive interviews — supports strategic decision-making for insurance carriers, brokers, MGAs and reinsurers, OEMs, solution providers, investors, and regulators looking to understand and shape the future of connected auto insurance.
With 32 million vehicles insured, North America has become the leading UBI market in the world and 16 of the top 17 personal line insurers have an active program.

However, as the recent auto insurance challenges faced by leaders such as State Farm and GEICO prove, not everybody has got it completely right.
In this report, we assess how UBI can transition from a simple risk measurement offer to a company-wide, 360° insurance transformation. Based on the analysis of over 130 programs but also the review of programs in 60 other countries, we deliver advice on the best practices to achieve this secular transformation of the auto insurance business.

- Over 130 active programs reviewed and estimated (101 in personal line and 31 in commercial line)
