The conclusion recommends that OEMs establish captive finance companies to offer efficient, profitable insurance services independently. To support international expansion, forming strategic partnerships with local entities, regulatory bodies, and other stakeholders is essential. However, this study is limited by its reliance on existing literature, presenting an opportunity for future research to engage with experts and collect primary data to deepen and validate the findings.engInsuranceAutomotiveInternationalizationStrategyWhat are the opportunities and challenges for the internationalization of OEM branded insurance services?
