Although the COVID-19 pandemic has affected insurance globally, we are bullish about the prospects for APAC’s insurance market: recovery in many APAC markets is ahead of the world, while demographic changes and relatively low insurance penetration rates give further cause for optimism about the potential for growth.

Briefly, they need to better understand shifting consumer demands. They can achieve that by using data better and by looking at cross-industry bundling of products and services – propositions that, our research shows, their customers are open to receiving.

Technological solutions like artificial intelligence, data analytics and cloud services will prove invaluable in improving the delivery of products and services and will make those offerings more accessible.
