U.S. Auto Insurance Market Size and Household Spending Report 2022
Today, doxoINSIGHTS released two new doxoINSIGHTS reports on the cost of car ownership in the US for 2022. The reports reveal that Americans as a whole spend $743 billion annually on car loans and car insurance combined. The Auto Insurance report, in particular, breaks down the $250 billion market for auto insurance in the U.S.
These reports come an opportune time. Interest rates on auto loans are at a near-peak high over the last eight years, with supply chain issues and limited inventory pushing both new and used car prices up. Simultaneously, inflation is impacting not only auto purchasers, but insurers who are passing the more expensive cost of vehicle repair and replacement on to consumers. doxoINSIGHTS’ price rankings show consumers how much they can expect to pay for cars compared to their neighbors.
