From Trust to Technology: The Tipping Point for Insurance Customers

The report underscores that consumers are nearing a tipping point with insurers driven by the significant rise in insurance costs across nearly all insurance sectors. Rising insurance costs, coupled with inflation and high interest rates are putting immense pressure on consumer financial well-being. As their customers navigate these challenges, insurers need to maintain a strong focus on building and maintaining trust by understanding and delivering on their changing needs and expectations and ensure the protection gap is not increasing.

A key focus of the report highlights the demographic differences between Boomers and Gen X as compared to Millennials and Gen Z, who now represent the dominant consumer group. The research uncovers how insurers are woefully unprepared to meet the demands and expectations of this younger generation. While insurance’s traditional products and servicing have always been pivotal in creating peace of mind, new and expanding risks, market dynamics, and evolving needs and expectations of insurance buyers, particularly the younger generation, require new ideas and approaches.  The report provides valuable insights into these generational differences and offers strategies for insurers to effectively engage with these tech-savvy, value-driven consumers.

These generations exhibit distinct behaviors and expectations compared to older generations, demanding new approaches from insurers to remain relevant. They must understand and embrace these generational differences and develop strategies to effectively engage with these tech-savvy, value-driven consumers, including the role of digital technologies, mobile payments, smart devices, GenAI and AI in transforming the insurance industry and the growing acceptance and use of these technologies among consumers.
