Mobile Insurance Global Study

Smartphones are the black swan of the insurance market. Mobile insurance will make both digital insurance and UBI mainstream, faster than we all expect.

Mobile insurance reaches only 50 million drivers

That is only a small fraction in comparison to the mobile banking market today.

User based Insurance

The “smartphonisation” of insurance was predicted by PTOLEMUS as early as 2012. Its impacts are still not fully understood. Yet the opportunities and challenges of the future insurance industry will all collide on the mobile space;

 

  • Insurance is moving from a standard yearly purchase to an on-demand, transaction-based service
  • External players such as Samsung, Amazon or car manufacturers now entering the market with digital offers
  • Data science is becoming an essential competitive tool for usage-basedcontext-aware personalised coverage.

Apps will completely transform the insurance industry. They will impact competition, customer relationship, internal processes and the skills required to handle new systems and technologies.

Mobile insurance will have wide reaching impacts on the market. Customer ownership will be defined by the app they use. Mobile insurance apps will become the essential weapon to fence-off insurers’ client pool.

Smartphones will bring insurance up to speed with the next generation of drivers.

Their impact will be far-reaching and often hurt. For their own sake, insurers must stop considering apps as a simple window to their antiques shop. The complete shop needs to be fully digitalised. Only the most advanced insurers – notably AXA, Allstate or State Farm – have made the first steps.”

Mobile insurance is still an immature offering

Analysing direct user feedback and past UBI experience provide the opportunity to detect best practices every insurer can implement.

The Mobile Insurance Global Study analyses the mobile insurance market, defines best practices and quantifies the different use cases.
