The primary factors driving the growth of the industry include the rising demand for B2B2C coverage plans from various associated sectors such as automotive, retail, and healthcare, among others. Furthermore, the rising awareness for the availability of the various cover services along with the increasing dependency of the consumers on these services for safety is estimated to propel the market B2B2C coverage plans demand. The growing collaboration of assurance providers with partners is anticipated to present significant growth opportunities.
For instance, in emerging nations such as India, government bodies allocate funds for the financial assistance of consumers in terms of non-life and life coverage-based services. Moreover, the adoption of various advanced technologies in the B2B2C insurance market and the rising trend of providing customized solutions according to specific client needs are the further factors that are boosting the industry growth. Additionally, the rising number of recent developments in the global market is anticipated to drive industry growth.

The spread of the COVID-19 reflects the downfall in the industry growth on account of the significant reduction in the spending by consumers globally, as an increasing number of consumers are eliminating their non-essential expenses from their respective budgets as the economic status of the majority population is severely affected by the pandemic. The lockdown measures and limited consumer spending are anticipated to hamper the industry development. Most of the industries globally have been negatively impacted by the outbreak. Due to the imposition of lockdowns, there is a manufacturing halt and significant disruptions in supply chains.
For instance, the drop in sales of automobiles on account of the shutdowns in the automotive industry is directly associated with the decline in demand for the B2B2C insurance market. This decline in other industries is estimated to hinder the growth of the industry. Furthermore, the decline in airline traffic due to the outbreak is also anticipated to affect the growth of the industry. However, the need for B2B2C protection is projected to recover back accordingly, as governments across nations are lifting lockdown restrictions.
