 The Digital Insurer reviews The Financial Express’s Report on How blockchain can help in better pricing for the Indian Insurance industry

Technology improves competition

Insurance in India is rooted since the 1800s and the industry hasn’t changed much until the 21st century when rapid digital disruption was witnessed in almost every segment of the financial industry. This has urged insurance players to innovate fast and run parallel to the growing standards and expectations of Indian customers. Evolvement at the regulatory front along with the government’s support, notably in the field of investments, policies and pricing has brought in both opportunities and short-term challenges for the Indian insurance sector.

The advent of technology native companies like insurtechs along with complexities in customer needs is questioning the value addition capability of traditional insurers. This eventually turns the market more competitive than ever before and to stay relevant and profitable, insurers in India must make their pricing smart and sustainable.

A proliferation of emergent technologies

As emerging technologies progress within the financial services sector in India, specific areas of innovation like blockchain can come as a respite to insurance pricing besides other benefits. Although several emerging technologies like cloud, artificial intelligence, RPA, big data, etc, are available but blockchain stands out when it comes to pricing. According to per IDC’s Global Spending on Blockchain Solutions Forecast Report 2021, the insurance industry globally will closely follow blockchain in its payments process, which eventually will have pricing as an integral component. With this, insurers and vendors can consider the below three key areas to understand why a better pricing is necessary for sustainable growth and simultaneously the need for blockchain technology.

  • Regulatory norms: The Indian Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority is increasingly highlighting gaps in the insurance market. In the year 2020, policy standardisation was one of the top agendas for the regulators. In the year 2021, the regulator again questioned the price hikes in both insurance and reinsurance sectors. Besides, a price-driven model for products with less innovation may also shrink insurers’
  • Consumer awareness: Today, Indian consumers empowered by online platforms and readily available data are well informed than ever before not only about their need but also about the type of policies are available and their benefits. Overall, today’s data-driven age is encouraging the introduction of innovative products and solutions and to satisfy this, the industry needs to look at flexible pricing structure.
  • Technology as an influencer: Insurers in India will now have to define its pricing requirements based on opportunities derived from technological advancements. Areas like blockchain and smart contracts have already started providing data intelligence across the insurance value chain. The ability to capitalize on this development will help insurers make their pricing model innovative and real time.
