DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Home Assistance Metrics: Consumer Approaches to Home Emergency Insurance in Germany" report to their offering.
Based on a survey of over 1,000 consumers, Home Assistance Metrics: Consumer Approaches to Home Emergency Insurance in Germany offers detailed and unique insights into the behaviour of German consumers in the context of home emergency insurance and assistance.
Comprising both an analytical report and a convenient data annexe in Excel format, the research quantifies the proportion of consumers in Germany who hold home emergency insurance, segmented by age, annual household income, living environment and home ownership status. It also investigates the types of policy that they buy (i.e. insurance for electrical emergencies or faults, gas- or boiler-related insurance, water- or plumbing-related insurance or a comprehensive policy covering two or more of these risks), and the distribution channels and interfaces that they use to take out home assistance policies. Distribution channels include direct sales by insurance or assistance companies, sales through electricity, gas or water companies, sales via insurance aggregators or brokers, and packaging with household insurance and banking products; distribution interfaces include face-to-face, online, inbound telephone, outbound telephone and postal sales.
Finally, the report analyses frequency of calls for assistance for home emergency insurance split not only by age and annual household income but also by type of policy as defined above, thereby highlighting importance differences in the propensity to use home assistance policies by customer group.
