DUBLIN, March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The “Mobile Phone Insurance Global Market Report 2024” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The mobile phone insurance market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $56.56 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to ongoing innovations in smartphones, the expansion of mid-range and premium device segments, the availability of customized and flexible insurance plans, the surge in e-commerce and online device sales, and the overall trend toward increased digitalization and connectivity. Key trends expected during this period encompass coverage for digital wallets and cybersecurity, flexibility in premium payment models, a focus on sustainability and eco-friendly practices, the integration of artificial intelligence in risk assessment, and the exploration of global expansion opportunities, particularly in emerging markets.
The rising adoption of smartphones is expected to significantly drive the expansion of the mobile phone insurance market in the coming years. Smartphones, portable electronic devices with cellular network connectivity, have become increasingly prevalent. A reliable mobile phone insurance plan offers coverage for necessary repairs or replacements, fueling the growth of the mobile phone insurance market alongside the increasing smartphone adoption. For instance, a report from Uswitch Limited published in 2022 indicated that there were 71.8 million active mobile connections. Projections suggest that by 2025, the UK will have a population of 68.3 million, with 95% of individuals owning smartphones. This surge in smartphone adoption is a key factor propelling the growth trajectory of the mobile phone insurance market.
The rise in phone theft incidents is expected to be a significant driver behind the growth of the mobile phone insurance market in the foreseeable future. Phone theft involves the unlawful acquisition or stealing of someone’s mobile phone or smartphone device. Victims of phone theft often rely on mobile phone insurance to recover from the financial loss incurred due to the stolen device. This insurance coverage extends to replacement or repair costs associated with the stolen phone, providing a practical solution to mitigate the financial impact of theft. For instance, according to data from the London Metropolitan Police in December 2023, there were 90,864 reported phone thefts in 2022, averaging to 249 phones stolen each day. These incidents of phone theft highlight the growing need for mobile phone insurance as individuals seek protection against potential financial losses due to theft. Thus, the escalating frequency of phone theft incidents serves as a driving force behind the growth of the mobile phone insurance market.
Product innovation stands as a prominent trend gaining traction within the mobile phone insurance market. Key companies in this sector are placing a strategic focus on developing novel insurance products to cater to evolving consumer needs. For instance, in May 2023, Switched On Insurance, a UK-based gadget insurance company, introduced a new mobile phone insurance offering. This comprehensive and cost-effective insurance policy is designed to safeguard devices, specifically those under 36 months old. The company’s mobile phone and gadget insurance come with various features, including unlimited claims and a 12-month warranty. The coverage extends to mobile devices while in use, ensuring protection during active use. Additionally, customers have the flexibility to cancel the insurance policy within the cooling-off period, typically set at 14 days. This innovative approach aims to meet consumer demands for comprehensive coverage and flexible policy options within the mobile phone insurance market.
Major companies within the mobile insurance policy market are increasingly adopting a strategic partnership approach to bolster the accessibility of insurance products and address emerging risks associated with customers’ digital lifestyles.
