Overview

Market Analysis & Outlook

Automotive usage-based insurance (UBI) is a category of auto insurance in which the premium reflects data collected on how, how much, or when a vehicle is driven, alongside or instead of a driver's demographic and historical claims profile. Coverage is delivered through a telematics device, a smartphone application, or vehicle-embedded hardware installed by the automaker, and it is purchased by individual vehicle owners as well as by commercial fleet operators seeking to manage driver risk and insurance cost. Insurers, the technology vendors that supply the underlying telematics platforms, and automakers that embed connectivity at the point of manufacture are all participants in bringing this coverage to market.

USD 60 billion of revenue was recorded in the global automotive ubi usage based insurance market in 2025. By 2034 the figure reaches USD 240.7 billion, a compound annual growth rate of 15.69% through the forecast period, along a series that runs USD 14 billion in 2020, USD 47 billion in 2024, USD 75 billion in 2026 and USD 150.3 billion in 2030.

48% of 2025 revenue sits in Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), worth USD 28.8 billion and rising to USD 91.47 billion at 38% by 2034, the largest type line in both years. Growth is fastest in Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) at 22.22% and slowest in Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) at 12.69%. The lines gaining share are Pay-how-you-drive (PHYD) and Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD). Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) lose share without losing revenue.

The technology split puts Smartphone-based UBI programs first, at USD 20.4 billion and 34% of revenue in 2025, rising to USD 96.28 billion and 40% in 2034. Hybrid-based UBI programs grows faster at 19.38% against 18.82%, moving from 22% of revenue to 27% by 2034. It cuts the same total as the type axis from a different commercial angle, so revenue does not add across the two.

North America is the largest region at 38% of 2025 revenue, worth USD 22.8 billion and reaching USD 79.43 billion by 2034. Europe follows at 32%, moving from USD 19.2 billion to USD 69.8 billion, and Middle East and Africa is the smallest at 4%. Share shifts toward Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa over the forecast period, so the regional split repays a close reading.

The 2025 total is triangulated from published sources and category proxies, with no independently sourced count behind it. Segment, regional and country splits are estimated on the same basis, which bounds the precision of the figures above. Coverage runs to five regions, three type lines and five segmentation axes across a fifteen-year window.

Analysis

Key Takeaways

  • Revenue grows from USD 60 billion in 2025 to USD 240.7 billion in 2034, a compound annual rate of 15.69%, having reached USD 47 billion in 2024 from USD 14 billion in 2020.
  • 48% of 2025 revenue sits in Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) (USD 28.8 billion) and it remains the largest type line in 2034 at USD 91.47 billion and 38%.
  • At 22.22%, Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) grows faster than any other type line, moving from USD 7.2 billion and 12% of revenue in 2025 to USD 48.14 billion and 20% in 2034.
  • Scenario range for 2034 runs from USD 197.37 billion in the bear case to USD 284.03 billion in the bull case, against a base-case USD 240.7 billion, the spread a plan built on this forecast has to absorb.
  • 38% of 2025 revenue is generated in North America, worth USD 22.8 billion and rising to USD 79.43 billion by 2034; Middle East and Africa is smallest at 4%.
  • 85% of North America's base-year revenue comes from the United States alone: USD 19.38 billion in 2025, rising to USD 65.93 billion by 2034, which is why it is that region's worked example.
  • Fifteen years are reported, 2020 to 2034 with 2025 as the base: revenue, share and growth rate per line, per axis and per region, not as a single blended series.

Share of by type segment revenue, most recent base year.

The global automotive ubi usage based insurance market is shaped over 2026-2034 by three measurable movements: a change in the type mix, a shift in where revenue sits geographically, and the 15.69% rate carrying the total.

All three are changes in mix, not in direction: nothing contracts, and the movement is in which lines and regions absorb the new revenue.

Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) outpaces Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD). Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) grows at 22.22% across 2026-2034 against 12.69% for Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), the widest spread on the type axis. Shares follow: 12% to 20% for Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD), 48% to 38% for Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD). Revenue rises on both sides; USD 7.2 billion to USD 48.14 billion and USD 28.8 billion to USD 91.47 billion respectively, so this is a change in composition, not a contraction, and one forecast window is long enough for it to matter.

Growth concentrates in Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa. Asia Pacific moves from 22% of revenue in 2025 to 28% in 2034, worth USD 13.2 billion rising to USD 67.4 billion; Latin America moves from 4% of revenue in 2025 to 5% in 2034, worth USD 2.4 billion rising to USD 12.04 billion; Middle East and Africa moves from 4% of revenue in 2025 to 5% in 2034, worth USD 2.4 billion rising to USD 12.04 billion. Against that, North America at 38% moving to 33%, Europe at 32% moving to 29%, a fall in share, not in revenue. Revenue added in this market is therefore concentrating geographically instead of spreading evenly, and a participant weighted toward a share-losing region grows more slowly than the market even while its own revenue climbs.

Fifteen years without a discontinuity. Fifteen years of revenue run USD 14 billion in 2020, USD 47 billion in 2024, USD 60 billion in 2025, USD 75 billion in 2026, USD 150.3 billion in 2030 and USD 240.7 billion in 2034. There is no discontinuity to time, and 15.69% forecast growth against 33.79% historical means the trend continues and does not turn. A plan built on this market is therefore a plan about capturing a share of steady expansion, which is decided on the type and regional axes, not by the headline rate.

  • 01
    The fastest line decides the blended rate

    Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) compounds at 22.22% against 15.69% for the market, rising from USD 7.2 billion in 2025 to USD 48.14 billion in 2034 and from 12% of revenue to 20%. Because the spread to Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) at 12.69% is this wide, the headline 15.69% is a weighted result, not a rate any single line achieves. That makes position on the type axis a growth decision, not a product one.

  • 02
    Growth lands where the revenue already is

    North America is the largest region at USD 22.8 billion in 2025, 38% of global revenue, and reaches USD 79.43 billion by 2034 while holding 33%. Behind it, Europe holds 32%; USD 19.2 billion rising to USD 69.8 billion. Most of the base and most of the growth sit in those two, and a plan spread evenly across regions therefore over-invests outside them.

  • 03
    A demonstrated trajectory, not a projected turnaround

    USD 14 billion in 2020, USD 47 billion in 2024 and USD 60 billion in 2025: 33.79% compound growth before the forecast period even begins. The forecast continues at 15.69% to USD 240.7 billion in 2034. Fifteen years of unbroken growth in the series means the forecast rests on a demonstrated trajectory, not a projected turnaround, and it is why the 15.69% rate is applied flat across the whole period instead of ramped through it.

Drivers contribute 200.7 Billion and restraints remove 20 Billion, a net 180.7 Billion, which is the revenue the market adds between the base year and 2034. Contributions are CDI estimates, apportioned so that they reconcile with the forecast rather than being read from it.

Separate the 15.69% into its parts and three show up: an already-large base compounding, the type mix moving toward its faster lines, and regional growth landing unevenly.

  • 01
    What holds the forecast back

    The study's downside path assumes the bear case assumes slower OEM connectivity rollout, tighter data-privacy rules in one or more large markets, and enrolled policyholders proving more price-sensitive to renewal premiums than currently observed, and ends 2034 at USD 197.37 billion against the USD 240.7 billion base case, the same USD 60 billion base year, a slower forecast period.

  • 02
    Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) grows below the market rate

    Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) carries 48% of 2025 revenue at USD 28.8 billion but compounds at 12.69% against 15.69% for the market, taking its share to 38% by 2034 even as revenue rises to USD 91.47 billion. Because it carries that much of the base, its pace holds the blended rate down more than any faster line lifts it.

    Upside case: USD 284.03 billion by 2034

    A bull case of USD 284.03 billion by 2034, against USD 240.7 billion in the base case, turns on a single stated assumption: the bull case assumes new-vehicle OEM-embedded connectivity reaches a larger share of annual sales faster than currently observed and that no major market restricts telematics-based pricing on privacy grounds. The USD 60 billion 2025 base is common to both.

  • 02
    Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) share moves from 12% to 20%

    Share on the type axis moves toward Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD), from 12% in 2025 to 20% in 2034, on 22.22% growth against the market's 15.69% and revenue rising from USD 7.2 billion to USD 48.14 billion. Taking position there does not require displacing whoever holds Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), which is the harder and more expensive fight.

  • 01
    The total depends on a single line

    USD 28.8 billion of 2025 revenue sits in Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), 48% of the total, and it is still 38% at USD 91.47 billion nine years later. Anything that changes demand for it changes the headline number; nothing else on the axis carries that weight.

  • 02
    One country drives the leading region

    North America is worth USD 22.8 billion in 2025 and USD 19.38 billion of that is the United States; 85% of the region, reaching USD 65.93 billion in 2034. The consequence is that regional risk here is really country risk wearing a larger label.

Structure

Segmentation Analysis

5 axes

The market is divided by type and by technology, vehicle age, vehicle type and distribution channel; five axes in all. Each axis cuts the same total revenue along a different commercial dimension, so the splits are alternative views of one market, not additions to it.

All three type lines expand in revenue terms over the forecast period. Share is the dividing line; two take it, the other cedes it.

Pay-as-you-drive holds the largest share early because mileage-based pricing needs the least behavioral data and slots into existing policy administration with minimal change, making it the easiest entry point for insurers extending usage-based pricing to a broad book. Manage-how-you-drive grows fastest as insurers move from passive mileage tracking toward real-time coaching that lowers claims frequency and supports sharper renewal pricing. By 2034 the largest line is Pay-how-you-drive (PHYD) and no longer Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), the one axis here where the order actually changes. Every year of the series is priced on this axis, making it the reference cut for the rest of the report.

Smartphone-based programs lead because they need no hardware installation, letting insurers enroll drivers instantly through an app at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated device. Hybrid-based programs grow fastest as insurers pair app-collected trip data with a low-cost plug-in sensor to sharpen location and hard-braking accuracy without the expense of a full black-box installation. By 2034 Smartphone-based UBI programs is still ahead, making this a shift in weight, not a change of leader.

New Vehicles 52%Used Vehicles 48%

New vehicles carry the larger share because automakers increasingly embed telematics hardware at the factory, letting insurers price a usage-based policy the moment a car is registered. Used vehicles grow faster as smartphone-based programs let insurers extend usage-based pricing to older cars that were never built with embedded connectivity, without any hardware retrofit. Used Vehicles grows fastest here, so its share rises while New Vehicles gives ground. The order does not change: New Vehicles is still largest in 2034, and what moves is how much it holds.

Light-Duty Vehicle (LDV) 79%Heavy-Duty Vehicle (HDV) 21%

Light-duty vehicles hold most of the revenue because personal auto insurance is the market usage-based programs were built for, and insurers hold the largest policyholder base to price this way. Heavy-duty vehicles grow faster as commercial fleet operators adopt telematics-based scoring to cut claims costs and satisfy safety oversight, a segment that started from a much smaller base. Heavy-Duty Vehicle (HDV) grows fastest here, so its share rises while Light-Duty Vehicle (LDV) gives ground. The order does not change: Light-Duty Vehicle (LDV) is still largest in 2034, and what moves is how much it holds.

Direct-to-consumer sales lead because most usage-based programs are sold through an insurer's own app or website, skipping the commission layer that a broker-priced policy carries. OEM-embedded programs grow fastest as automakers strike insurance partnerships that enroll a driver in usage-based coverage at the point of vehicle purchase, a channel still building scale from a low starting base. The order does not change: Direct-to-Consumer is still largest in 2034, and what moves is how much it holds.

North America Market Analysis

The largest region covered — 5 points of share move elsewhere by 2034, while revenue still grows 3.5×.

  • Rank 1 of 5
  • 2025 share 38%
  • By 2034 33%
  • Revenue $22.80B → $79.43B

USD 22.8 billion of 2025 revenue is generated in North America, 38% of the global automotive ubi usage based insurance market on the way to USD 79.43 billion by 2034. Among the five regions it ranks first by revenue in both years.

By 2034 the share stands at 33%, while nothing contracts here; other regions simply grow faster, which shows up as relative weight, not as falling revenue.

Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) leads here as it does globally, at 48% of 2025 revenue, and Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) again grows fastest at 22.22%. The full report breaks North America out along every axis and by country.

United States

Sets the pace for North America at 85% of it, growing 3.4×.

  • In region 1 of 2
  • Of region 85%
  • Of global 32.3%
  • Revenue $19.38B → $65.93B

The largest single market in North America is the United States, at USD 19.38 billion in 2025 and USD 65.93 billion in 2034. At 85% of regional revenue in the base year it is not one market among several, the region's trajectory is largely this country's trajectory. Against regional totals of USD 22.8 billion in 2025 and USD 79.43 billion in 2034, it is the country the full report breaks out in detail.

the United States buys along the same lines as the market globally; Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) first at 48% of 2025 revenue and 38% in 2034, Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) fastest at 22.22% on a share moving from 12% to 20%. With 85% of North America concentrated here, a change in this country's mix is visible in the regional figures instead of being diluted by its neighbours. The full report reports the United States by type separately.

Automotive usage based insurance in the United States falls under state insurance departments rather than a single federal regulator, since insurance rate-making and policy filing are matters each state supervises through its own commissioner. An insurer offering telematics-based premiums must file its rating methodology and any data-driven discount model with the relevant state regulator for approval before use, and must disclose to policyholders how driving data is collected, scored and applied to pricing. Privacy handling of location and driving-behavior data intersects with state consumer-privacy statutes, several of which now treat telematics data as sensitive personal information subject to consent and disclosure duties. The Federal Trade Commission's general standards on unfair or deceptive practices also apply where a program's data use diverges from what was disclosed to the driver at enrollment.

Competition in the United States runs between the suppliers this study tracks: Allianz, AXA, Progressive, Generali Group, Insure The Box Ltd, Allstate, Desjardins, Metromile, Liberty Mutual, Aviva, Admiral Group and Ageas.. The commercially relevant division is 48% of 2025 revenue in Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), where the volume is, against 22.22% growth in Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD), where share moves. Country-level positioning and shares for each of these companies are part of the full report, not of this summary.

Europe Market Analysis

The 2nd-largest region covered — 3 points of share move elsewhere by 2034, while revenue still grows 3.6×.

  • Rank 2 of 5
  • 2025 share 32%
  • By 2034 29%
  • Revenue $19.20B → $69.80B

32% of the global automotive ubi usage based insurance market sits in Europe in 2025, worth USD 19.2 billion rising to USD 69.8 billion in 2034. That makes it the second-largest region covered, in 2025 and again in 2034.

Share settles at 29% in 2034, while nothing contracts here; other regions simply grow faster, which shows up as relative weight, not as falling revenue.

Within the region the type split tracks the global one; 48% of 2025 revenue in Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), fastest growth of 22.22% in Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD). Europe is reported axis by axis and country by country in the full study.

  • In region 1 of 3
  • Of region 32%
  • Of global 10.2%

USD 6.144 billion of Europe's 2025 revenue is generated in the United Kingdom, the region's largest market, reaching USD 20.94 billion by 2034. Its 32% of base-year regional revenue leads the region, though enough sits elsewhere that Europe is not a proxy for it. The region itself runs USD 19.2 billion to USD 69.8 billion over the same period, and this is the market carrying the country-level detail in the full report.

The type pattern in the United Kingdom is the global one: 48% of 2025 revenue in Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), 38% by 2034, against 22.22% growth in Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) taking it from 12% to 20%. Since 32% of Europe's revenue is generated here, the regional numbers inherit this market's mix instead of smoothing it out. Revenue by type for the United Kingdom is reported separately in the full report.

In the United Kingdom, automotive usage based insurance is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority together with the Prudential Regulation Authority, which govern how insurers price, market and administer telematics policies under the general insurance conduct rules. A provider must ensure that premium calculations built on driving-behavior data are fair, clearly explained to the customer and consistent with the Consumer Duty, rather than opaque scoring that a policyholder cannot reasonably understand. Collection and processing of location and driving data is additionally governed by the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act, requiring a lawful basis, defined retention limits and transparency over how scores translate into premiums. Any in-vehicle telematics hardware supplied as part of the policy must also meet the relevant electrical and radio equipment safety standards before installation.

Competition in the United Kingdom runs between the suppliers this study tracks: Allianz, AXA, Progressive, Generali Group, Insure The Box Ltd, Allstate, Desjardins, Metromile, Liberty Mutual, Aviva, Admiral Group and Ageas.. Two different problems sit on the same axis: holding Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) at 48% of 2025 revenue, and taking Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) while it grows at 22.22%. A supplier weighted toward Europe is competing over a base of USD 19.2 billion in 2025 reaching USD 69.8 billion by 2034, 32% of global revenue at the start of that period.

Italy

2nd-largest in Europe, growing 3.3×.

  • In region 2 of 3
  • Of region 24%
  • Of global 7.7%
  • Revenue $4.61B → $15.36B

Italy is sized at USD 4.608 billion in 2025, rising to USD 15.36 billion by 2034; 7.68% of global revenue and 24% of Europe. It is reported separately from the United Kingdom across every segmentation axis in the full report.

Germany

3rd-largest in Europe, growing 3.8×.

  • In region 3 of 3
  • Of region 18%
  • Of global 5.8%
  • Revenue $3.46B → $13.26B

Germany is sized at USD 3.456 billion in 2025, rising to USD 13.26 billion by 2034; 5.76% of global revenue and 18% of Europe. It is reported separately from the United Kingdom across every segmentation axis in the full report.

Asia Pacific Market Analysis

The 3rd-largest region covered, and the one gaining the most — it picks up 6 points of share by 2034, while revenue still grows 5.1×.

  • Rank 3 of 5
  • 2025 share 22%
  • By 2034 28%
  • Revenue $13.20B → $67.40B

22% of the global automotive ubi usage based insurance market sits in Asia Pacific in 2025, worth USD 13.2 billion and reaches USD 67.4 billion by 2034. By revenue it sits third across the study, and the ranking does not change between 2025 and 2034.

By 2034 the share has moved up to 28%, at a pace above the 15.69% global rate, so this region warrants separate treatment and should not be scaled off the total.

Within the region the type split tracks the global one; 48% of 2025 revenue in Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), fastest growth of 22.22% in Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD). Per-axis and per-country detail for Asia Pacific sits in the full report.

China

The largest market in Asia Pacific, growing 5.4×.

  • In region 1 of 3
  • Of region 40%
  • Of global 8.8%
  • Revenue $5.28B → $28.31B

USD 5.28 billion of Asia Pacific's 2025 revenue is generated in China, the region's largest market, reaching USD 28.31 billion by 2034. It accounts for 40% of regional revenue in the base year, the largest single share without dominating the region outright. Regional revenue of USD 13.2 billion in 2025 and USD 67.4 billion in 2034 sits around it, and it is the country used wherever the full report cuts a figure by geography.

Composition here matches the global split: the largest line is Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) at 48% of 2025 revenue, easing to 38% by 2034, and the fastest is Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) at 22.22%, from 12% to 20%. Its 40% weight in Asia Pacific means those movements carry straight into the regional totals. Per-type revenue for China appears on its own in the full report.

China's automotive usage based insurance market operates under the supervision of the National Financial Regulatory Administration, which approves motor insurance products and the pricing models insurers use, including telematics-based rating schemes, before they can be sold. An insurer must submit its usage-based product design and underlying data methodology for regulatory filing, demonstrating that premium differentiation is actuarially justified rather than arbitrary. Because these programs depend on collecting vehicle location and driving data, insurers must also comply with the Personal Information Protection Law and related data-security rules governing consent, cross-border data transfer and secure storage of driver information. Any connected telematics device fitted to the vehicle is additionally subject to national telecommunications and product-certification requirements before it can be deployed commercially.

Competition in China runs between the suppliers this study tracks: Allianz, AXA, Progressive, Generali Group, Insure The Box Ltd, Allstate, Desjardins, Metromile, Liberty Mutual, Aviva, Admiral Group and Ageas.. Volume sits in Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) at 48% of 2025 revenue; movement sits in Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) at 22.22% growth. That makes Asia Pacific a 22% share of 2025 global revenue, USD 13.2 billion rising to USD 67.4 billion, for any supplier deciding where to concentrate.

Japan

2nd-largest in Asia Pacific, growing 4.4×.

  • In region 2 of 3
  • Of region 28%
  • Of global 6.2%
  • Revenue $3.70B → $16.18B

Within Asia Pacific, Japan accounts for 28% of regional revenue and 6.16% of the global total, worth USD 3.696 billion in 2025 and USD 16.18 billion by 2034.

India

3rd-largest in Asia Pacific, growing 7.7×.

  • In region 3 of 3
  • Of region 12%
  • Of global 2.6%
  • Revenue $1.58B → $12.13B

India is sized at USD 1.584 billion in 2025, rising to USD 12.13 billion by 2034; 2.64% of global revenue and 12% of Asia Pacific. It is reported separately from China across every segmentation axis in the full report.

Latin America Market Analysis

The 4th-largest region covered — it picks up 1 point of share by 2034, while revenue still grows 5.0×.

  • Rank 4 of 5
  • 2025 share 4%
  • By 2034 5%
  • Revenue $2.40B → $12.04B

4% of the global automotive ubi usage based insurance market sits in Latin America in 2025, worth USD 2.4 billion and reaches USD 12.04 billion by 2034. It is a marginal region on this axis, fourth by revenue throughout the period.

By 2034 the share has moved up to 5%, so the region grows faster than the market's 15.69% and takes a larger part of the revenue added by 2034 than its 2025 weight implies.

Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) leads here as it does globally, at 48% of 2025 revenue, and Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) again grows fastest at 22.22%. Revenue for Latin America is broken out by every segmentation axis and by country in the full report.

Brazil

The largest market in Latin America, growing 4.7×.

  • In region 1 of 2
  • Of region 55%
  • Of global 2.2%
  • Revenue $1.32B → $6.26B

55% of Latin America's base-year revenue comes from Brazil; USD 1.32 billion, rising to USD 6.26 billion by 2034. Its 55% of base-year regional revenue leads the region, though enough sits elsewhere that Latin America is not a proxy for it. Regional revenue of USD 2.4 billion in 2025 and USD 12.04 billion in 2034 sits around it, and it is the country used wherever the full report cuts a figure by geography.

Brazil buys along the same lines as the market globally; Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) first at 48% of 2025 revenue and 38% in 2034, Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) fastest at 22.22% on a share moving from 12% to 20%. With 55% of Latin America concentrated here, a change in this country's mix is visible in the regional figures instead of being diluted by its neighbours. Per-type revenue for Brazil appears on its own in the full report.

In Brazil, automotive usage based insurance falls under the supervision of the Superintendência de Seguros Privados, the national regulator responsible for authorizing motor insurance products and the rating criteria insurers apply, including telematics-derived pricing factors. An insurer must register its usage-based product and pricing methodology with the regulator and demonstrate that the criteria used to adjust premiums are transparent and non-discriminatory. Collection of driving and location data through a connected device or mobile application is governed by the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, which sets requirements for consent, purpose limitation and secure handling of driver data. Telematics hardware installed in the vehicle must also carry certification from Anatel confirming compliance with national telecommunications equipment standards before sale.

The suppliers tracked in this study (Allianz, AXA, Progressive, Generali Group, Insure The Box Ltd, Allstate, Desjardins, Metromile, Liberty Mutual, Aviva, Admiral Group and Ageas.) compete in Brazil across the type lines above. Two different problems sit on the same axis: holding Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) at 48% of 2025 revenue, and taking Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) while it grows at 22.22%. The commercial size of that position is USD 2.4 billion in 2025 and USD 12.04 billion by 2034, 4% of the global total in the base year.

Mexico

2nd-largest in Latin America, growing 5.5×.

  • In region 2 of 2
  • Of region 30%
  • Of global 1.2%
  • Revenue $0.72B → $3.97B

Mexico is sized at USD 0.72 billion in 2025, rising to USD 3.97 billion by 2034; 1.2% of global revenue and 30% of Latin America. It is reported separately from Brazil across every segmentation axis in the full report.

Middle East and Africa Market Analysis

The 5th-largest region covered — it picks up 1 point of share by 2034, while revenue still grows 5.0×.

  • Rank 5 of 5
  • 2025 share 4%
  • By 2034 5%
  • Revenue $2.40B → $12.04B

Middle East and Africa holds 4% of the global automotive ubi usage based insurance market in 2025, worth USD 2.4 billion rising to USD 12.04 billion in 2034. That makes it the fifth-largest region covered, in 2025 and again in 2034.

By 2034 the share has moved up to 5%, so the region grows faster than the market's 15.69% and takes a larger part of the revenue added by 2034 than its 2025 weight implies.

Within the region the type split tracks the global one; 48% of 2025 revenue in Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), fastest growth of 22.22% in Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD). The full report breaks Middle East and Africa out along every axis and by country.

United Arab Emirates

The largest market in Middle East and Africa, growing 5.3×.

  • In region 1 of 2
  • Of region 30%
  • Of global 1.2%
  • Revenue $0.72B → $3.85B

The United Arab Emirates is the largest market within Middle East and Africa, generating USD 0.72 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 3.85 billion by 2034. It accounts for 30% of regional revenue in the base year, the largest single share without dominating the region outright. Against regional totals of USD 2.4 billion in 2025 and USD 12.04 billion in 2034, it is the country the full report breaks out in detail.

the United Arab Emirates buys along the same lines as the market globally; Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) first at 48% of 2025 revenue and 38% in 2034, Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) fastest at 22.22% on a share moving from 12% to 20%. Since 30% of Middle East and Africa's revenue is generated here, the regional numbers inherit this market's mix instead of smoothing it out. The United Arab Emirates carries its own type breakdown in the full report.

Automotive usage based insurance in the United Arab Emirates is regulated by the Central Bank of the UAE, which took over insurance supervision from the former Insurance Authority and approves motor insurance products, including any telematics-based pricing structure, before they reach the market. An insurer must obtain product approval confirming that usage-based rating factors are actuarially sound and clearly disclosed to the policyholder at the point of sale. Handling of driving and location data collected through a telematics device is subject to the UAE's federal data protection law, which requires a lawful basis for processing and safeguards over how such data is stored and shared. Any connected telematics unit fitted to a vehicle must additionally meet the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority's type-approval requirements for wireless equipment before installation.

Competition in the United Arab Emirates runs between the suppliers this study tracks: Allianz, AXA, Progressive, Generali Group, Insure The Box Ltd, Allstate, Desjardins, Metromile, Liberty Mutual, Aviva, Admiral Group and Ageas.. The commercially relevant division is 48% of 2025 revenue in Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), where the volume is, against 22.22% growth in Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD), where share moves. The commercial size of that position is USD 2.4 billion in 2025 and USD 12.04 billion by 2034, 4% of the global total in the base year.

South Africa

2nd-largest in Middle East and Africa, growing 5.2×.

  • In region 2 of 2
  • Of region 25%
  • Of global 1%
  • Revenue $0.60B → $3.13B

South Africa is sized at USD 0.6 billion in 2025, rising to USD 3.13 billion by 2034; 1% of global revenue and 25% of Middle East and Africa. It is reported separately from the United Arab Emirates across every segmentation axis in the full report.

Competition

Competitive Landscape

Suppliers Compete on Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) Volume and Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) Momentum

The study covers twelve suppliers: Allianz, AXA, Progressive, Generali Group, Insure The Box Ltd, Allstate, Desjardins, Metromile, Liberty Mutual, Aviva, Admiral Group and Ageas..

Competition follows the type split, not the regional one. 48% of 2025 revenue, worth USD 28.8 billion, is in Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), still 38% of the total in 2034; that is the position least likely to change hands. The line that changes hands is Manage-how-you-drive (MHYD) at 22.22%, well ahead of Pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) at 12.69%. A supplier positioned in one is not automatically positioned in the other, so a field of this size stays viable in a market of USD 60 billion.

Scale in claims and driving-behavior data is what separates the leading insurers here: a larger book lets a carrier refine its scoring models faster and price more accurately than a rival with a thinner sample. The largest players also hold multi-state or multi-country underwriting licenses, letting them roll a proven telematics program into new geographies without rebuilding it from scratch. Automaker partnerships and app-based distribution matter for reaching new-vehicle buyers at the point of sale, while smaller and specialist insurtechs compete instead on a single well-executed app experience, faster underwriting decisions, or pricing aimed narrowly at lower-risk drivers the larger carriers price more conservatively.

The regional picture sets the entry cost: 38% of revenue is in North America and 32% in Europe, so a credible global position requires both, while Middle East and Africa at 4% can be served opportunistically.
