Insurers remain competitive by adopting the price optimization technique. Companies determine the premium rates based on the historic data and price the product accordingly. Tools such as predictive analytical models, what-if scenario simulation, and impact analysis are used for product pricing. Pricing is considered as the key differentiator and requires a thorough understanding of the competition, customer data, customer buying preferences, and pricing strategies.

An effective claims management is vital to the success of both small and large companies. The claim handling process includes developing strategies to reduce frauds and cut costs for enhancing the customer experience. The claim process differs among insurers based on the services offered by the company. The adoption of the Business Process Management (BPM) would deliver improved claim processing technology that automates the resource allocation under an optimized end-to-end claim process.

The insurers attract customers through various policies and premiums. The attrition rate is high as customers have a number of options to choose the service providers. However, the growing investment in customer engagement activities through various digital touch points, including mobile, social media, mail, and others is likely to influence the market growth.Though the industry is undergoing technology changes, personal interaction is still highly regarded as the claims process is complex and needs continued assistance to customers.

Industry Insights

Based on the industry, the market is segmented into transportation, marine, aviation, and others. The marine segment dominated the segment in 2015 and is expected to remain the same over the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the rapid growth of the port development in the emerging countries. The reduction in the value of vessels has increased contribution from cargo underwriters owing to the reduction in deductibles and premium.

The relocation of manufacturing to countries such as Cambodia and Vietnam has bolstered the intra-Asian trade. Additionally, the increased spending on infrastructure allows a greater volume of goods to pass through the region. The growing consumer demand also increases the need for goods and attracts increased cargo to the region.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) governs the maritime segment. IMO has established Integrated Technical Co-operation Programme (ITCP) for assisting countries to build up the institutional and human capabilities to meet the compliance of IMO’s framework.

Regional Insights

Europe held a significant share of around 35.40% in 2015 and has become one of the most influential markets in the industry. The presence of well-established logistics infrastructure and the rising digital insurance are the major factors reinforcing the dominance of this region. Automating regulatory compliance in the region is also likely to spur the region growth.

The government regulatory initiatives play a significant role in determining the price of policies, which is expected to impact the sector as a strong driver. For instance, in Singapore, the Financial Advisory Industry Review (FAIR) was introduced to improve the regulation standards and ensure transparency in sales products.

Over the past few years, developing nations, including India and China, have exhibited continual development, which is expected to offer flourishing opportunities to the segment growth in the Asia Pacific region. The growing infrastructure spending in this region is anticipated to drive the region growth over the forecast period.
