Extended Warranties and Insurance for Mobile and Non-Mobile Consumer Products in Australia

Extended Warranties and Insurance for Mobile and Non-Mobile Consumer Products in Australia is about the market for extended warranties and insurance sold in conjunction with white goods, brown goods, grey goods, mobile gadgets and mobile phones in Australia.

The study draws on extensive primary and secondary research covering 117 organisations involved in the production and distribution of mobile and non-mobile consumer products including manufacturers, mainstream mobile network operators, mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), specialised retailers of consumer electronics, supermarkets and other types of retailer (namely, department stores, DIY outlets, speciality retailers and variety retailers). Hence, it provides a comprehensive overview of this activity across Australia.

Key features of this publication include:

• quantification of the market value for extended warranties and insurance linked to mobile and non-mobile consumer products: how much is the market likely to have been worth in Australia in 2015, how did it split between white goods, brown goods, grey goods, mobile gadgets and mobile phones, and to what extent did each of these segments grow or decline in value since 2011?
• analysis of extended warranty underwriters and brokers that have established scheme relationships with manufacturers and retailers of white goods, brown goods, grey goods, mobile gadgets and mobile phones, including their unweighted share of partnerships;
• consideration of the potential for cross-selling stand-alone extended warranty and insurance policies through independent channels that are separate from either manufacturers or retailers: does an emerging market exist for this form of distribution in Australia?
• forecasts for the market size for extended warranties and insurance linked to mobile and non-mobile consumer products up to 2019: assuming no significant changes in the number of manufacturer and retailer schemes, what factors will cause this sector to grow or decline in the next few years?
