Segments that transform the industry

Based on coverage, the Japanese car insurance market is bifurcated into third-party liability coverage and collision/comprehensive/other optional coverage. Of these, third-party liability has held the major market share due to being mandatory in Japan for each vehicle. Driving without a third-party liability coverage can attract hefty fines, and the coverage is extensively checked by the authorities to avoid any discrepancies. Furthermore, with the growing vehicle fleet and awareness, and strict policies, people are vying more for collision and other coverage-based insurance, which would be conducive to the market expansion of the segment in the coming years.

According to the report, Mandatory Automobile Liability Insurance (CALI) has been identified as a key driver for market growth. Some of how this impact has been felt include:

Mandatory Automobile Liability Insurance (CALI) is a liability insurance required by all registered motor vehicles in the country and is referred to in Japan as Jibaiseki Hoken. CALI is a regulated policy by the government, and it is introduced to provide minimum compensation to the victims of traffic accidents. The policy covers bodily harm or death of third parties when they are injured in the accident. It is insured against property damage or injuries to the insured driver or passengers inside the vehicle. If it is not carried when driving, a penalty of one year of imprisonment or a fine of under USD 3,360 (¥500,000) will be imposed.

All vehicles have to be registered in the CALI system before they are legally allowed onto the public roads, and also take the required vehicle inspection (shaken). The nature of the policy is one to three years, and the premium is dependent on the kind of vehicle. In case the victim is affected, there are three payouts: in case of disability, injury, or death of the victim, the payout is (USD 8,000, 268,000, and 210,000, respectively.

·        Although CALI offers vital legal protection, it is generally thought to be inadequate in most accident scenarios that might happen. Consequently, optional voluntary car insurance (Nin-I Hoken) is taken by most drivers to supplement CALI, paying the cost of repairing their vehicle, paying loss to property, and other costs of personal injury. Driving without CALI is also considered a crime, and it not only brings a serious number of fines, suspension of the license, or even imprisonment.
