UK Embedded Insurance Market Analysis, Key Trends and Strategies, Line of Business and Future Implications

Embedded insurance is the bundling of insurance or protection within the purchase of a third-party good or service. For example, travel agents offer travel insurance as an add-on to a holiday package. This report explores the impact embedded insurance is having on the industry.

The growth in ecommerce and mobile commerce, along with a host of technological advances in the industry, have brought in a new age of embedded insurance. Almost all lines of business either have been disrupted to some extent or are ready for this next stage of digital distribution. Car manufacturers, travel agents, technology providers, and retailors alike are all able, to some extent, to offer insurance to their customers at the point of sale. Insurers must be prepared to meet this growing demand for insurance distribution, both for simplicity for the customer and as a revenue earner for the insurer and third-party provider. Insurtechs and API providers, built in a digital era, are better suited to integrating insurance product offerings with third-party platforms. Legacy players must be willing to partner with these digital startups and third-party players as digital ecosystems emerge across a range of industry verticals.
