According to the 2020 Auto Insurance & Emerging Consumers Trends infographic, based on aggregated and analyzed online auto insurance inquiry data from DMS, females currently represent the majority (57.9%) of consumers seeking auto insurance. Additionally, seniors (aged 65 and up), who are more comfortable than ever with online shopping, sought out more opportunities to comparison shop for services like auto insurance this year, leading to 130% year-over-year growth in online auto insurance inquiries from this audience.

The 2020 Auto Insurance & Emerging Consumers Trends infographic also revealed that the share of non-homeowners seeking auto insurance increased, rising from 54.4% in 2019 to 63.3% in the first three quarters of 2020. Non-homeowners represent a growing opportunity for auto insurers, especially those who can bundle renters’ insurance with auto insurance. The share of liability-only coverage inquiries also increased — from 17.9% in 2019 to 27.5% during the first three quarters of 2020, potentially stemming from Americans driving less during the pandemic and seeking options to cut costs.

“We are seeing a steady shift throughout the auto insurance industry toward larger investments in digital advertising strategies, with 72% of auto insurance ad spend expected to be within digital media channels by 2024,” said Taryn Lomas, DMS EVP of Insurance. “DMS digital performance advertising solutions drive success for auto insurance advertisers — including carriers and agents. Because our solutions leverage a pay-for-performance model, DMS auto insurance advertiser clients only pay for what they want — customers and near customers — which de-risks media spend even as they scale their digital advertising campaigns.”
