Motor and home insurance premiums continue to fall, but rates of decline diverge
Motor insurance premiums have continued to fall into 2025, with the latest data from Pearson Ham Group’s General Insurance Price Index revealing a -3.6% decrease in the average top-5 premiums in Q1. However, while the downward trend remains in place, the pace of reduction is clearly easing.
Premiums dropped by -2.4% in January, but the decreases tapered off to -0.9% in February and -0.4% in March. By March 2025, the year-on-year reduction stood at -17.7% compared to the end of April 2024.
This continued but decelerating decline has now been observed for 12 consecutive months.
