Digital Transformation in US Insurance Industry Report 2017: IT Spending Trends of US Insurance Industry, 2014-2020 - Research and Markets

DUBLIN, Mar 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Digital Transformation in US Insurance Industry" report to their offering.

This is one of the most comprehensive research reports published on the Digital transformation of US insurance industry. Within this research report, we have covered the key challenges faced by current US insurance industry and how digital technologies are being leveraged to overcome them and transform the industry. The report progresses by highlighting the key industry risks, and challenges, market trends and impact of technology on insurance Industry value chain.

Customer loyalty is also low in in the insurance market, except in the cases where long term policies have been purchased. With the inclusion of price comparison websites globally, this permits customers to obtain a number of insurance quotes. In doing so, price sensitivity is affected in the insurance market. Market players are unlikely to backward integrate into ICT and software, despite the fact they themselves maintain their own IT departments and software. Insurers are however likely to offer reinsurance products.

On this note, ICT and software houses are unlikely to forward integrate into insurance, even though reinsurers often offer insurance products. Through strict legislation dictating the legally expected behavior and action of players, Government regulatory bodies present significant entry barriers for potential new entrants. As some insurance is a legal requirement e.g. Property, Health and Motor insurance, there are no alternatives to these insurance products. Alternatives do include other financial products such as savings and investments.
