Research on Motor Vehicle Owners' Auto Insurance Demand

Company overview

Zhonghua Union Property Insurance Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Zhonghua Insurance") was founded in 1986 and is the second insurance company in the People's Republic of China to hold legal corporate status, as well as the first nationwide, comprehensive insurance company to be named after 'Zhonghua'. The company primarily operates in property insurance, with a nationwide presence, extensive network of branches, and broad service coverage, particularly demonstrating strong market influence and customer base in the motor vehicle insurance sector.

Research background

As the auto insurance market gradually opens up and consumer demands become increasingly diverse, insurance companies face challenges of product homogenization and insufficient customer retention. To enhance market competitiveness and customer satisfaction, Zhonghua Insurance urgently needs to gain a deep understanding of motor vehicle owners' genuine needs and attitudes regarding product selection, renewal behavior, and claims services, providing scientific evidence for product optimization and service improvement.

Research scope

In December 2015, CEIDEA Research was commissioned by Zhonghua Insurance to conduct a quantitative survey across the country using structured questionnaires targeting motor vehicle owners. The survey covered the types of auto insurance currently purchased, motivations for purchasing, satisfaction levels with claims services, awareness of the Zhonghua Insurance brand, and willingness to use the brand. Key elements such as renewal intentions and the impact of service attitude on customer retention were specifically analyzed. Through systematic data collection and analysis, a representative owner profile and their preference characteristics were developed.

Expected outcomes

The research report will comprehensively evaluate owners' core needs, product awareness, brand loyalty, and service satisfaction, helping Zhonghua Insurance clarify the market positioning and differentiation strategies for its auto insurance products. It will also support the development of more compelling renewal incentive strategies, enhance service quality and customer experience, and ultimately strengthen brand loyalty and customer retention in a highly competitive auto insurance market.
