The Covid-19 virus has had a major impact on the world insurance industry. In 2022, we expect insurers to react to the effects of the pandemic while progressing further in the direction of digitizing insurance.

The changing expectations of consumers, the global climate issues, and remote working policies will all add to the insurance landscape in the next few years.

Let’s have a look at some of our predictions for the most exciting trends expected in the insurance industry in 2022 and beyond.

Increased workforce support to accommodate remote working

It’s evident that the pandemic has accelerated the remote work trend. The insurance sector is no exception. It is allowing many of its employees to operate remotely, at least for a couple of days in the week.

The obvious advantages of remote working include more flexibility for employees, improved staff morale, and greater ease for working parents and others with complicated personal situations.

However, remote working results in a dispersed workforce, as the pressure of working remotely impacts the dynamics and collaboration of workers. 

To tackle this situation, insurers can implement efficient employee engagement strategies that keep them engaged in their organization. A majority of brokers are expecting insurers to return to their office (at least on an hourly basis) as the pandemic situation is easing in several countries. 

Automated and customized insurance offerings

Insurance is extremely regulated and is one of the oldest sectors. In addition, when compared with other industries, insurance has shown significant resistance to embracing newer technology.

However, this is changing now. Insurance companies are using modern technology backed by AI to cut down on lengthy and laborious human intervention processes. With the help of digital embedded insurance platforms like Salty, customers can now access insurance without filling out numerous paperwork and can get suitable cover when they need it the most.

Additionally, companies have begun employing machine learning to accurately price their insurance policies and design tailored coverages. Through neural networks, businesses are also able to catch scams.

Automated sales and marketing campaigns to offer customized ads

Many gurus rightly predicted data-driven sales in 2021. Following the same trend, we predict that marketing and sales will be the next components of insurance that will be automated. 

The use of data-driven marketing strategies will aid insurers in creating targeted advertisements that are more relevant to consumers and have greater success compared to traditional advertising.

Data-driven marketing targeting the right audience provides an increase in ROI, which means that making adjustments and improvements to marketing campaigns will be the way to go for insurers. 

After embracing AI and automation in claiming and underwriting, insurers are eager to discover how this technology will be used in 2022 and beyond.

Customers will enjoy multiple product choices

Another way data-driven marketing is helping improve insurance is that it tells the insurance companies about the various market opportunities. 

By focusing on the products that customers search for, insurers can spend more time developing customized products and most importantly, advertising those products to the right people.

Although consumers in 2022 might not be too driven by brand loyalty, they will more likely be motivated by convenience. The need to shop around for various insurance products from different insurers won’t be the trend as customers can get customized options in one place. Insurers can take advantage of this by positioning targeted ads in front of consumers already looking for similar items.

Final word

Unfortunately, the insurance industry still has a long way to go towards providing the best experience to both the customers and the insurers. Hopefully, the trends mentioned above will impact the insurance industry for good.
