Extended Warranty: Emerging Trends and Opportunities

Rise in awareness for extended warranty and surge in penetration of laptops, tablets, and smartphones have boosted the growth of the global extended warranty market. However, declining sales of PCs hamper the market growth. On the contrary, expansion of products and services and untapped potential of emerging economics are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market players in the coming years.

According to the report, the global extended warranty industry generated $120.79 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $169.82 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2020 to 2027.

Covid-19 scenario:

• The Covid-19 outbreak has severely affected the finance industry with lower incomes, production shutdowns, and staff shortage.
• The inadequate digital maturity and pressure on existing infrastructure have affected the market.

The standard protection plan segment dominated the market

However, the accidental protection plan segment is projected to register the highest CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period, due to rise in awareness toward security measures for ATM machines and implementation of advance technologies.
