Stars
By end-2025 NRMA Insurance sits as a Star in IAG’s BCG matrix, holding ~28% share of Australia’s direct-to-consumer digital home and auto insurance market, which grew c.18% CAGR 2021–25 to AU$3.6bn.
Dominant brand status demands heavy capex: IAG disclosed AU$220m incremental digital/AI spend in FY2024–25, pressuring free cash flow despite strong gross written premium growth of 12% YoY.
This segment is IAG’s future; sustaining lead requires ongoing investment in AI, cloud, and UX to fend off InsurTechs and maintain NRMA’s growth trajectory and margin profile.
As Australia and New Zealand vehicle fleets electrify—EV registrations grew 74% in 2024 to ~170,000 units across both markets—IAG’s specialized EV insurance products are high-growth leaders, outpacing the broader motor market (motor premiums +3% in 2024).
IAG holds a strong niche share—estimated ~25% of dedicated EV policies in ANZ—and is directing significant marketing and actuarial spend (internal FY24 reallocation ~A$35m) to secure early and mass-market adopters.
The commercial segment has seen cyber insurance demand for SMEs surge over 40% CAGR 2019–2024, with brands like CGU driving uptake; IAG captured roughly 25–30% share of that SME cyber market by 2024, marking Cyber Insurance for SMEs as a Star in the BCG matrix.
Maintaining that position requires heavy investment in technical underwriting, threat intelligence, and risk modeling—IAG disclosed A$50–70m annual spend in cyber analytics programs in 2024.
Given global ransomware incidence rose ~92% in 2023–24 and estimated SME breach costs averaging A$120k per incident, continued high growth in cyber threats makes this a top strategic priority to secure future dominance.
Sustainable Home Insurance Features
IAG’s Sustainable Home Insurance is gaining traction: adoption rose 28% YoY through 2024 as premium incentives for energy-efficient builds attracted younger homeowners, outpacing 6% growth in traditional home lines.
Regulatory shifts—Australia’s 2023 National Climate Resilience Framework—and rising green mortgages support faster segment growth; IAG increased R&D and marketing spend by AUD 120m in 2024 to scale offerings.
IAG aims to convert this high-growth segment into a cash cow by 2030 through pricing, underwriting data, and partnership-driven distribution.
- Adoption +28% YoY (2024)
- Traditional home growth 6% (2024)
- IAG green spend AUD 120m (2024)
- Target: Cash Cow by 2030
Rollout of Integrated Mobility Services
IAG has moved beyond traditional insurance into integrated mobility services, offering subscription-based coverage across cars, bikes, scooters, and ride-share and reporting a 2024 pilot reach of 120,000 subscribers and AU$75m of annualized gross written premium (GWP).
Urban shift to shared and multi-modal transit fuels high growth: global shared mobility market forecast at US$320bn by 2030 and Australian city modal-share surveys show a 22% decline in private car trips since 2018.
By securing early market share, IAG positions as a leader in personal movement despite AU$45–60m in initial platform and fleet-integration costs incurred in 2023–24, expecting EBITDA breakeven within 3–4 years.
- 120,000 subscribers; AU$75m GWP (2024)
- Global shared mobility ≈ US$320bn by 2030
- AU$45–60m initial investment (2023–24)
- EBITDA breakeven target 3–4 years

SME cyber – 25–30% share; SME cyber demand +40% CAGR (2019–24); A$50–70m cyber analytics spend (2024). Sustainable home – adoption +28% (2024); A$120m green spend (2024).

Cash Cows
Comprehensive Motor Insurance remains IAG’s primary liquidity engine, holding about 35% share of Australia and New Zealand private motor premiums and generating NZD 2.1 billion underwriting income in FY2024.
By late 2025, prior digital transforms pushed combined operating ratio to ~88% and lifted statutory profit margins on traditional motor to record levels.
Cash from motor funds IAG’s push into higher-risk tech lines—cyber and usage-based products—and underwrites steady dividends, with free cash flow covering ~70% of 2024 shareholder distributions.
The NRMA and AMI home and contents portfolio is a Cash Cow for IAG, sustaining high retention—around 85% combined as of FY2024—and stable gross written premium of ~A$3.1bn in 2024.
Market maturity means IAG prioritises incremental product tweaks and back-office automation over costly acquisition; FY2024 productivity programs cut operating costs by ~4%.
Those steady premiums underpin debt servicing—IAG held net debt A$2.2bn at 30 June 2024—and fund R&D in pricing, claims automation and risk analytics.
CGU Commercial Property Insurance holds a leading share in Australia’s commercial property market, contributing roughly A$1.1bn GWP in FY2024 and delivering underwriting margins near 14%, reflecting mature, low-growth sector dynamics.
High broker ties and low acquisition cost keep operating expenses around 22% of premium, generating steady free cash flow that needs minimal reinvestment.
Surplus profits fund IAG’s Stars and Question Marks, supporting growth segments without capital strain.
New Zealand Personal Lines via State and AMI
IAG’s State and AMI dominate New Zealand personal lines, producing roughly NZD 350–420m annual underwriting surplus and generating >NZD 500m free cash flow in FY2024, making them classic Cash Cows in a slow-growth market requiring maintenance spend only.
These brands deliver steady combined market share ~35% (H1 2025), underpin geographic diversification, and fund group investments and dividends with low capital intensity.
- Annual underwriting surplus NZD 350–420m
- Free cash flow >NZD 500m in FY2024
- Combined market share ~35% (H1 2025)
- Low reinvestment; supports dividends and growth elsewhere
Compulsory Third Party (CTP) Insurance
IAG holds around 25–30% share in several state CTP schemes as of 2025, securing steady premiums in this regulated, low-growth segment where participation is mandatory and entry costs are high. These predictable, high-volume cash flows—about A$800–900m annual gross written premium from CTP lines in 2024—support reserve funding and dividend capacity. The segment’s stability underpins IAG’s capital management and reinsurance planning.
- Mandatory market → steady customer base
- High barriers → reduced competition
- Low growth, high volume → reliable premiums ~A$850m (2024)
- Key for capital reserves and dividends
IAG’s motor and home portfolios are core Cash Cows: motor delivered NZD 2.1bn underwriting income (FY2024) and ~35% ANZ market share; home GWP ~A$3.1bn (FY2024) with ~85% retention; CTP ~A$850m GWP (2024). Together they generated >NZD 500m free cash flow (FY2024) and funded dividends while supporting investment in cyber and UBI.
| Segment | FY2024 metric |
|---|---|
| Motor | NZD 2.1bn income; 35% share |
| Home | A$3.1bn GWP; 85% retention |
| CTP | A$850m GWP |
| Free cash flow | >NZD 500m |
