Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP) insurance is an optional coverage that helps pay off the remaining balance on a car loan or lease if the vehicle is stolen or totaled. It covers the difference between the car's current value and the amount owed on the loan or lease. GAP insurance is particularly beneficial for those who owe more on the car than it is worth, especially in situations where no down payment was made or a long loan term was chosen. The GAP insurance market is influenced by several factors. As cars become more expensive, borrowers often have to take out larger loans or leases, which can lead to a situation where the loan amount exceeds the car's actual cash value (ACV). GAP insurance bridges this gap by covering the difference between the ACV and the remaining loan balance. Additionally, a rising number of road accidents contributes to the growth of the GAP insurance market, as these incidents highlight the need for coverage that helps policyholders cover the disparity between insurance payouts and remaining loan balances. However, there are factors that may hinder the growth of the GAP insurance market. Some individuals may not be aware of the benefits of GAP insurance, leading to a potential decrease in the number of new policies sold. Furthermore, the market may be facing intense competition, which could impact policy sales.

 

The mechanical breakdown insurance segment is predicted to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.
