The Insurance Telematics Industry is on the Cusp of a Revolution

According to a new report from Telematics Update, the insurance telematics market is projected to expand rapidly from $50 million in sales of UBI devices in 2011 to approx. $2.6 billion by 2015! The Insurance Telematics USA 2011 Conference will provide the industry with a platform to kick-start this revolution.

Chicago, IL (PR Web) 6th May, 2011 – Auto OEMs, wireless carriers, device manufacturers and insurers convene at Insurance Telematics USA 2011, Sept 8-9th in Chicago, to discuss how to send insurance telematics mass-market (www.insurancetelematicsusa.com).

There are already several companies leading the charge towards mass –market telematics: Progressive’s SnapshotSM has been approved in 32 states, GMAC’s Mileage Discount is available in 35 states and Allstate are aspiring to live up to their name.

Furthermore, the majority of other major insurers are running extensive pilot schemes. The court cases are still rumbling on, but now many states in the USA are actively encouraging Usage Based Insurance (UBI) and legislative barriers are finally beginning to fall.

Is Your Company Ready to Join the Revolution?

There are numerous challenges currently facing the industry, including IP and litigation issues, consumer acceptance, privacy concerns and the creation of a viable business model, but these are vastly outweighed by the ever-growing number of opportunities and the size of the potential rewards.
