The increasing cases of road accidents, the number of cars getting damaged have forced people to opt for motor insurance to protect their vehicles. According to ICRA, the general insurance industry is expected to grow by 7% to 9% in gross direct premium income during FY22. In FY21, the industry grew at 4% per annum and stood at Rs.1.85 lakh crore.
Advances in technology have also brought about a significant change in motor insurance and these gradual changes will continue in the years to come. Today's customers are more aware of insurance than ever before and are also mature about their needs. They are on the lookout for more personalized services, which motivates insurers to offer more customized plans.
