Description

Unlike other areas in financial services, the insurance market has not been remarkably disrupted by innovative technologies and new business models until now. While the pace of innovation is rapid in financial services, insurance is still a complex and a highly regulated market.
However, it appears to be at a point of articulation, as stakeholders from the FinTech ecosystem have their vision set on InsurTech as the next greatest opportunity. This study aims to put in perspective the prevailing trends in InsurTech globally.

This study provides a detailed analysis of the challenges, technology trends within the insurance market, areas of interests for InsurTech start-ups, key technologies enabling innovation in insurance, geographic representation of global InsurTech companies, InsurTech ecosystem incumbent’s response to InsurTech, venture capital funding for InsurTech start-ups, and the profiles of key InsurTech start-ups (based on the background of interest and funding), along with a workflow discussion. The study also provides a thorough analysis on peer-to-peer (P2P) insurance and the impacts of blockchain on the same.
