We are witnessing the slow but sure, uberization of insurance. Insurers now more than ever, need big data-driven insights to assess risk, reduce claims, and create value for their customers. The industry is abuzz with a steady influx of new innovative products, deriving value in areas that were previously untapped.
Processes like faster KYC verification and onboarding, automated underwriting, virtual claims adjusting, to name a few have become hot commodities within the last year. With AI-assisted technologies improving functionality, reducing real-time data fraud or meddling; insurers are creating custom-fitted coverages for the end-user.
For example, AI-powered underwriting solutions are already saving up to 97% of the time and resources that were traditionally required, enabling the corporate underwriter to specialize in cases that require deeper thought and analysis.
According to a recent CB Insights report, here’s what’s next for P&C Insurance.
The general insurance industry in India alone is valued at US$ 21B in 2019, growing at 13% CAGR over the next 5 years, and is expected to touch US$ 57B by 2025. Customer’s coverage expectations in the subcontinent have shifted toward desires of flexible insurance products that more closely match their lifestyle needs. These trends across the APAC landscape mirror the changes being witnessed in more advanced insurtech markets across Europe and North America.
