Ridesharing: Opportunities for Insurers
By 2020, ridesharing companies will generate over US$24 billion in gross revenue from U.S. rideshares.
Boston, November 5, 2015 – Ridesharing companies, including Uber and Lyft, have enjoyed rapid expansion in the United States but still have plenty of room to grow. Their revenue should expand almost fourfold between 2015 and 2020, as they benefit from an organic increase in cars-for-hire demand, take more passengers away from taxis and mass transit, and compete with personal cars. Many insurers are struggling to address this market, though. Ridesharing is exposing insurers’ limited understanding of the risk they are covering in auto insurance.
