Usage-based insurance is a type of insurance policy in which the premium is directly related to the vehicle's usage. Usage-based insurance also known as pay as you drive and pay how you drive and mile-based auto insurance is a type of vehicle insurance whereby the costs are dependent upon the type of vehicle used, measured against time, distance, behavior, and place. Furthermore, telematics technology customizes insurance to understand the pattern of driving. It works by monitoring real-time driving behaviors to provide a better picture of driving habits and accordingly, a premium is charged. Insurers use UBI plans to align individuals' driving behavior with the premiums charged. The telematics device system installed in vehicles monitors the vehicle's speed, time, and distance traveled, which is then transmitted to the insurance company, which charges insurance premiums accordingly.

The Usage-Based Insurance For Automotive Market Trends Are As Follows:
Increasing Adoption of Telematics and Connected Cars:
Car telematics improves driving behavior, increases road safety, and aligns insurance premiums through usage-based insurance (UBI). The telematics industry is expected to grow faster than any other industry, according to the GSMA (Global System for Mobile Communications). The growth of the telematics industry can be attributed to two major factors. First, governments are increasingly willing to mandate telematics services such as emergency call capabilities. Second, there is a growing demand for more connectivity and intelligence in vehicles. According to a LexisNexis Risk Solutions whitepaper, in 2019, 80–90% of car insurance buyers had a telematics-enabled policy. Furthermore, as the demand for connected car services grows, insurance providers can assist customers in the event of an emergency, resulting in time savings and the optimization of claims processes. As a result, the growing popularity of connected car services has a significant impact on the usage-based insurance of the automotive market.
Increasing Concerns Regarding Driver’s Safety Globally:
Each year, approximately 1.3 million people are killed in road accidents, according to data compiled by the Association for Safe International Road Travel (ASIRT). It also claims that 20–50 million people have been injured or become disabled. The increased concern for driver safety is expected to attract consumers, resulting in increased demand for usage-based insurance. Young or teen drivers tend to drive roughly, can be monitored through the UBI program, lowering the likelihood of an accident. Their driving habits are tracked by the telematics device, and additional premiums are calculated on the same basis. Thus, these factors provide a lucrative opportunity for usage-based insurance for automotive market.
