The 2025 Global Insurance Outlook: Evolving Industry Operating Models to Build the Future of Insurance highlights major shifts and strategies shaping the insurance sector worldwide. Drawing from leading industry reports, here are the key themes and takeaways:
Insurers are accelerating the adoption of advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning, blockchain, and automation to streamline operations, enhance customer experience, and improve underwriting and claims processes.
Generative AI is moving from pilot projects to real business functions, especially in claims and customer service, with 76% of surveyed insurers implementing GenAI in some capacity.
Digital transformation is also enabling new insurance models, such as usage-based, embedded, and on-demand insurance, expanding access and personalization.
There is a strong shift toward customer-centricity, with insurers offering more personalized, flexible, and bundled products.
Embedded insurance (coverage offered seamlessly at the point of sale, such as with car or home purchases) is projected to exceed $722 billion in global premiums by 2030.
Enhanced digital channels and self-service tools are becoming standard, improving customer engagement and satisfaction.
Climate change is a top concern, driving insurers to integrate environmental risk into underwriting and product development.
Companies are developing green insurance products and investing in resilience and sustainability, responding to both regulatory pressures and consumer demand.
Insurers are modernizing their infrastructure, operations, and business models to become more agile, resilient, and cost-efficient.
Lean, flexible, and highly automated operating environments are critical for scaling innovations, reducing costs, and connecting with partners and ecosystems.
Strategic partnerships—with tech firms, startups, and even competitors—are vital for accessing new markets and capabilities.
The regulatory landscape is becoming more complex, with new rules on data privacy, cybersecurity, and global tax compliance.
Insurers must invest in robust data management, scenario planning, and transparent technology use to build trust and remain compliant.
The global insurance market in 2025 is characterized by stability, cautious optimism, and innovation.
Life insurance premiums are projected to grow at 3% in real terms, fueled by higher interest rates and demand for savings/annuity products.
Non-life insurance is seeing softening rates and increased capacity, though certain segments (e.g., U.S. casualty, catastrophe-exposed property) remain challenging.
Summary:
To thrive in 2025 and beyond, insurers must embrace digital transformation, customer-centric innovation, sustainability, and agile operating models. Success will depend on leveraging advanced technology, forming strategic partnerships, and navigating an increasingly complex regulatory environment—all while keeping a sharp focus on customer needs and societal purpose.
