India Two Wheeler Insurance Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.39% through 2031F
The India Two Wheeler Insurance Market is growing due to rising vehicle sales, increased awareness of insurance
benefits, stricter regulations, and expanding digital distribution channels
enhancing accessibility and convenience for consumers.
According
to TechSci Research report, “India Two Wheeler Insurance Market – By Region, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2021-2031F”, the India Two Wheeler Insurance Market was valued at USD 5.66 Billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 8.18 Billion by 2031 with a CAGR of 6.39% during the forecast period. The India two wheeler insurance market
forms a significant portion of the country’s general insurance landscape,
driven by the vast size of the two-wheeler population and a growing awareness
of financial protection. With more than 200 million two-wheelers plying Indian
roads, insurance for these vehicles is not just a legal requirement but also a
critical financial safeguard against accidents, theft, and natural disasters.
In recent years, the market has witnessed accelerated growth due to evolving
consumer behavior, improved enforcement of motor vehicle laws, and increasing
digitization in the insurance value chain. The two-wheeler insurance space is
now witnessing growing competition, innovation in product offerings, and deeper
penetration into semi-urban and rural areas, which were previously underserved.
A key driver of growth in the India Two
Wheeler Insurance Market has been government regulation and policy enforcement.
Third-party motor insurance is mandatory under the Motor Vehicles Act, and
traffic authorities have become increasingly strict in enforcing compliance.
The introduction of long-term third-party insurance by the Insurance Regulatory
and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has further ensured minimum
insurance coverage over a longer period. These regulatory steps have led to a
broader base of insured vehicles and contributed to increased premium
collections across the sector. Additionally, policy enforcements such as
e-challans and integration with traffic databases have made it harder for
vehicle owners to avoid insurance, pushing more people into purchasing
policies.
The consistent rise in two-wheeler
ownership in India, especially in non-metro and rural areas, has fueled the
growth of the insurance market. Two-wheelers remain the most accessible and
economical form of transport for a large segment of the population. The
post-COVID period also saw a shift in consumer preference toward private modes
of transport, further boosting vehicle sales. In October 2024 alone, over 2.16
million two-wheelers were sold domestically—a 14% increase from the previous
year. This rapid increase in vehicle population expands the base for insurance
coverage and creates recurring demand for renewals, upgrades, and value-added
insurance products. Technology has emerged as a transformative force in the
two-wheeler insurance market. Digital platforms such as PolicyBazaar, PhonePe,
and Paytm offer consumers the ability to compare plans, customize coverage, and
purchase policies without physical documentation. This has significantly
reduced operational overheads and increased the speed of policy issuance.
Insurers are also leveraging artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big
data to underwrite policies, detect fraud, and automate claims processing.
These digital innovations are enhancing customer experience, improving claim
turnaround times, and boosting overall market penetration—especially among the
tech-savvy youth and urban consumers. Even in rural areas, increasing
smartphone usage is facilitating online insurance buying behavior.
While third-party insurance remains the
minimum legal requirement, an increasing number of consumers are opting for
comprehensive policies. These plans cover damage to the owner’s vehicle, theft,
and personal accident cover. Market data from 2024 reveals a growing preference
for such enhanced products, especially as consumers become more aware of their
benefits. The trend is further supported by rising road accidents, theft rates,
and unpredictable weather events due to climate change. Many insurance companies
now offer bundled services, including roadside assistance, zero depreciation,
engine protection, and even electric vehicle battery cover—all of which appeal
to more risk-aware buyers. This shift is helping insurers increase premium
revenues and customer retention rates.
