EY release global insurance outlook for 2025

EY have released their global insurance outlook for 2025. One of they key takeaways for life and health insurers is the growing global retirement savings gap. Longer lifespans and aging populations are set to increase the gap from US$106 trillion in 2022 to US$483 trillion in 2025, with EY predicting increased demand for financial estate planning services, life insurance, health insurance and wellness programmes.

AI is shifting business practices globally, with 99% of insurers already investing in GenAI or making plans to invest. EY posit that as data and tech become so much more important, they must be baked into front line operations and decision-making processes. More than half of workers believe GenAI will positively impact their productivity and ability to do high-value work. EY highlight the importance of having staff with AI skills and fostering a culture of innovation and adaptability to drive productivity gains and increase employee engagement.

EY predict a rise in personalised offerings, driven in part by advances in AI helping with tailored messaging, targeted recommendations, more accurate pricing and faster underwriting. EY suggest that product innovation will prioritise features (such as preventative services) that drive outcomes customers desire (e.g. healthier lifestyles), a la AIA’s vitality programme. They also highlight that importance of partnerships and new channels to gain access to new customer segments.
