Insights


The 19% surge in auto insurance shopping and significant carrier switching rate of 38% signals a major shift in consumer behavior, driven by rising premiums and inflation pressures. The dramatic increase in digital marketing spend (online display up 346%) shows insurers are aggressively competing for market share as loss ratios improve.

The evolving household composition trend, with 78% of Gen Z adults living with older generations versus 66% for Millennials in 2009, creates new risk assessment challenges and opportunities. This demographic shift impacts policy pricing and underwriting strategies as multi-generational households typically present different risk profiles.

TransUnion’s strategic position in this evolving landscape is strengthened by providing important identity verification and consumer insight services to insurers adapting to these market changes. The company’s data analytics capabilities become increasingly valuable as insurers optimize digital targeting and risk assessment.












TransUnion report finds Gen Z adults more likely to live with older generations as homeownership becomes more illusive

CHICAGO, Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The third quarter of 2024 saw a big spike in shopping for both auto and property insurance, according to a report by TransUnion (NYSE: TRU). Auto insurance was up 19%, while property insurance shopping rose 16%, compared to the same time in 2023.

Auto insurance shopping increased across generations, though, not equally. Baby Boomers shopped the most by far, at 34%. Younger generations followed, with Gen Z (23%), Gen X (18%) and Millennials (8%) also looking for lower rates. Property insurance shopping was up among homeowners and renters alike.

These and other important findings are included in the 2025 Personal and Commercial Lines Annual Insurance Outlook, which provides insights and guidance to address anticipated trends in the new year.

“It’s important to note that consumers are also switching at significant rates,” said Patrick Foy, senior director of strategic planning for TransUnion’s Insurance business. “This should serve as a reminder to insurers that marketing and digital experiences matter for acquisition.”

The report found 38% of consumers who shopped for insurance in the past six months ended up switching carriers. It also notes that those who do not find better deals will often adjust their current policy by raising deductibles or opting into a telematics program to lower their premiums.

Insurers lean heavily on online marketing
Over the past two years, policy premiums have caught up with and recently exceed loss costs in the auto market. Predictably, insurers are also beginning to reinvest in marketing; however, not across all channels.

Comperemedia’s Q2 Omnichannel Marketing Review found national TV spending by property and casualty insurers dropped 15%, while online display skyrocketed with a 346% increase. Similarly, spending on social media rose 81% and online video advertising 55%.

“The focus on marketing through digital channels is encouraging, but it has to be optimized with a robust identity-based approach,” said Foy. “It is critical that insurers partner with a trusted solution provider who can ensure that their ads consistently target the right audiences and measure impact across channels.”

A generational shift for independent living
With prices in the housing market outpacing inflation, consumers across generations find themselves cohabitating in greater numbers, compared to just 15 years ago. When looking back to 2009, 34% of households with adult-age Millennials were composed of either a single individual living independently or with one or more people of the same generation, while 66% comprised an adult-aged Millennial cohabitating with someone in an older generation, such as a parent or grandparent.

By comparison, today only 22% of households with adult-age Gen Z consumers are composed of either a single individual living alone or with one or more people in the same generation, while 78% comprise a Gen Z adult living with someone from an older generation. The findings have significant implications for insurers who take on added risks with more people living in a household.

Insurers who understand the generational makeup of a household can better calculate the associated behavioral risks that come with its occupants. Here, again, occupant and identity-based solutions can help carriers match individuals and devices to locations, providing crucial insights that guide consumer acquisition and risk-based pricing.
