Market Dynamics:

Driver: 

High-cost repairing services

The rising cost of repairs is a significant driver for extended warranties. Repairing high-end electronic devices, appliances, or vehicles can be expensive, and extended warranties help mitigate these costs by providing coverage for parts and labor.

Many consumers are using their devices and products for longer periods before upgrading, especially for big-ticket items like cars and appliances. Extended warranties offer additional coverage during these extended lifecycles, ensuring that the product remains protected over a longer period.

Restraint:

Overlapping coverages and price sensitivity

Extended warranties often come with an additional cost, which can make consumers price sensitive. Some customers who are price sensitive take the risk of potential repairs or replacements rather than pay for extended coverage, especially for lower-cost or less complex products. In certain cases, extended warranties may duplicate or overlap with existing warranties or consumer protection laws. Consumers may question the need for an extended warranty if they already have adequate coverage from the standard manufacturer's warranty or statutory rights.

Opportunity:

Penetration of customized warranty packages along with the availability of services on e-commerce platforms

Offering customizable warranty packages can be a significant opportunity for extended warranty providers. Consumers have different needs and preferences when it comes to warranty coverage. Providing options such as extended coverage duration, additional services, or coverage for specific components can attract a diverse range of customers.

The growth of e-commerce and online shopping provides an opportunity for extended warranty providers to reach a broader customer base. By offering easy online purchase options, transparent pricing, and streamlined claims processes, providers can enhance customer convenience and accessibility.

Challenge: Less awareness about the market

Consumers are not interested in the value-added services in underdeveloped countries. This is the main challenge in the growth of the extended warranty market. Many consumers are skeptical about the value and benefits of extended warranties. Some perceive them as unnecessary or consider them a way for companies to generate additional revenue. Limited awareness about the coverage and terms of extended warranties can also hinder market growth.

Recent Developments:

  • In May 2023, the Nintendo Switch and the Switch (OLED Version) announced the launch of an extended warranty plan for limited time period. The companies have stated that the plans are only available in Mainland China.
