Embedded Insurance: A New Route To Growth And Value
By Simon Torrance, Founder, Embedded Finance & Super App Strategies, and Chris McMahon, Senior Marketing Manager, EIS —
The rapid emergence of new digital technologies, consumers’ heightened expectations for more personalized service, and a new and growing wave of more complex risks have put pressure on insurance companies to enhance their products and find new ways to stay compelling and relevant in a fast-evolving insurance market.
With the potential to generate more than $3 trillion in new market value for those who enable it, embedded insurance is one of the most interesting developments carriers are exploring to adjust to hose market conditions.
The aim of embedded insurance is to allow any developer or product manager at any brand in any sector to quickly and easily test and integrate innovative digital risk solutions into their own propositions, either to generate new revenue or to make their products more attractive with the added value of insurance. Leveraging a technology platform that features APIs and low-code tooling is at the heart of achieving those goals.
Both insurers and brands are recognizing the potential of digital technologies to converge their offerings, products, or propositions to jointly provide more personalized, timely, and relevant offerings to a wider set of customers and reach a much wider consumer base.
