The South Korean motor insurance category is growing steadily due to the introduction of mandatory motor liability insurance policies and the country’s rising number of passenger car sales. According to South Korean law, all car users must purchase compulsory automobile liability insurance (CALI) which provides insurance cover against physical injury or death caused to a third party in a road accident. The implementation of the mandatory motor insurance policy has been one of the main growth drivers for South Korean motor insurance during the review period. Furthermore, the South Korean government has passed several support schemes to encourage consumer spending and support the expansion of the country’s automobile industry during the review period. The government’s support schemes include multiple tax benefits for consumers who buy new cars and trade in vehicle models bought prior to 1999. This drove the South Korean motor insurance category growth during the review period.
