In 2020, 2.3% growth in gross written premiums (GWP) in the UK commercial motor insurance market was driven by an increase in the number of light goods vehicles (LGVs) on the road - an effect of increasing demand for home deliveries amid the COVID-19 pandemic. A large fall in road accidents for the year meant claims were also significantly down on 2019 levels. This came about as roads were utilized at below-average rates from March 2020 onwards, especially in periods of national lockdowns. Despite this fall in the number of claims, the average cost of claims continued to rise, reflecting the increasing complexity and evolving technology fitted into modern vehicles. As cutting-edge technology becomes more prevalent, these issues will subside as manufacturers, technicians, and insurers get to grips with the repair processes and costs in modern vehicles.
