The insurance providers market consists of sales of insurance products by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that undertake underwriting (assuming the risk and assigning premiums) on annuities and insurance policies. Insurance providers invest premiums to build up a portfolio of financial assets to be used against future claims. Direct insurance providers are entities that are engaged in primary underwriting and assuming the risk of annuities and insurance policies. Reinsurance providers are businesses that assume all or part of the risk associated with an existing insurance policy or set of policies, originally underwritten by another insurance carrier (direct insurance carrier).

The main types of insurance providers are life insurance providers, property and casualty insurance providers, health and medical insurance providers. Life insurance is a contract between an insurance policyholder and an insurance company in which the insurer promises to pay a sum of money in exchange for a premium upon the death of an insured person or after a specified length of time. The services are provided through online and offline modes and are used by corporate and individual end-users.

UBI, which allows Insurance Providers to vary premiums depending on the behavior of consumers, is gaining traction amongst auto insurers. In particular, it is used in vehicle insurance based on the vehicle usage and driving behavior of drivers. The popularity of UBI is driven by the increased use of smartphones with features such as Global Positioning System (GPS), accelerometers, and g-force tracking, which can be used to substitute telematics devices with mobile apps. Under UBI, auto insurers are offering pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) and pay how you drive (PHYD) services. While PAYD insurance premium is calculated based on the distance covered by a vehicle, PHYD insurance premium is calculated based on the driving behavior of insured consumers. UBI is rapidly growing in regions such as Europe, Asia, and America. According to a report by EY, the global market penetration of UBI services increased by 15% in 2020.
