Sharing Economy in Insurance - Thematic Research
Summary
The sharing economy has particularly taken off in home-sharing and shared mobility models, shaking up the way the insurance industry has traditionally understood liabilities. Insurers have been pressurized to quickly adapt their products, converging the cover provided in personal and commercial lines. In a bid to keep up with the speed of transactions and minimize customer friction insurers are partnering with marketplaces and startups. The sharing economy has resulted in an upsurge of flexible insurance products. But gaps in coverage still exist, while the sharing economy continues to grow strongly.
