Report

The Digital Insurance Platform Market size is estimated at USD 148.15 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 255.43 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 11.51% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Insurtech companies are disrupting the insurance industry by building digital platforms and collaborating with insurance companies and suppliers. The paradigm shift from a product-centric model in traditional insurance companies to a primarily client-centric model has been enabled by the digital insurance platforms enabled by technologies like IoT, Big data analytics, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing.

Key Highlights
- Customer loyalty and satisfaction have become primary concerns for insurance companies. Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are expected to significantly impact all aspects of the insurance value chain, from distribution to underwriting and pricing to claims management. This may result in policies being priced, purchased, and bound in near real-time. Through these, insurers have been able to smartly connect information and quickly deliver innovative products and services, which, in the end, will significantly improve customer loyalty and satisfaction.
- Signs of massive and unprecedented progress are observed across the insurance industry. Explore new technologies and partner with insurance companies and their existing technology partners to develop new models and tools. Others stimulate their business results by executing quick minimum viable products (MVPs), proof of concepts (POCs), and straight into production.
- Many seek ways to speed up their existing digital roadmaps during and post-pandemics. And some are exploring new outsourcing solutions to drive agility. Over the past few months, the market has focused on digitizing the contact centers and the claims functions. Notably, significant progress was made in adopting automation and process streamlining, improving the use of structured and unstructured data, external data, and the exploratory use of knowledge.
- On the flip side, the shift to digital insurance has increased the volume of data required and the variety of methods for processing it. When updating its catastrophe models, an insurance company, for instance, needs to know how many houses and businesses are vulnerable to manage risk and adjust its writings accordingly. In the future, a more comprehensive range of threats will need to be covered by catastrophe modeling. Further, insurance firms, particularly those who sell cyber insurance, have a specific obligation to protect their systems and data against hacking to manage risk and maintain the trust of their insured. Insurance providers require the appropriate procedures to manage their insured's information securely.
- Cloud computing allows insurance companies to scale their operations up or down quickly in response to changing business needs. This scalability and flexibility are crucial in handling fluctuations in customer demand and adapting to market changes.
- Integrating digital insurance platforms with the lagacy system is a common challange in the insurance industry and can restrain the growth of the digital insurance platform market. Several difficulties and complexities associated with this integration can hinder the adoption and implementation of modern digital solutions.


Digital Insurance Platform Market Trends

Growing Cloud Adoption is Expected to Drive the Market Growth


- The increasing realization among enterprises about the importance of saving money and resources by moving their data to the cloud instead of building and maintaining new data storage is driving the demand for cloud-based solutions and hence, the adoption of on-demand digital insurance platforms in the region. Owing to multiple benefits, and over the course of the next few years, cloud platforms and ecosystems are anticipated to serve as a launchpad for an explosion in the pace and scale of digital innovation.
- Cloud-based insurance solutions can offer better social listening and higher conversion rates from opportunity to sale through targeted campaign management and improved opportunity and lead engagement models. This could result in higher upsell, cross-sell, and retention rates. Cloud can also enhance the claims experience by providing better service and better communication with end customers. This ability of the cloud is augmenting the growth of the cloud-based digital insurance platform market.
- Furthermore, deploying public cloud service extends the boundary of trust beyond the organization, making security a vital part of the cloud infrastructure. However, the increasing usage of cloud-based solutions has significantly simplified insurance firms' adoption of cybersecurity practices.With the increased adoption of cloud services, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft Azure, among others, and with these tools emerging as an integral part of business processes, enterprises must deal with security issues, such as loss of control over sensitive data. This gives rise to the increased incorporation of on-demand solutions.
- The increasing complexity of the healthcare IT landscape is driving healthcare organizations to look for alternate options that can support digital strategies and increase agility while reducing costs. For instance, last year, Red Hat announced that Medife Asociacion Civil, a non-profit healthcare insurance organization in Argentina, selected RedHat to implement a new digital application architecture based on Red Hat's open hybrid cloud technologies to support the changing remote healthcare services during a pandemic.
- Organizations with fluctuating bandwidth demand primarily need to scale up and down their capacity quickly. Cloud technology provides organizations with the flexibility they need to increase and decrease their bandwidth with the needs of their operation. This approach can cut costs and give businesses an edge over the competition.


Asia Pacific is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share


- The emergence of insurance ecosystems is only the beginning. The integration of payment and social media into platforms that enable targeted insurance marketing and offer highly responsive customer engagement capabilities is something that insurance companies see all over Asia. These platforms offer insurers payment and marketing services for the first time. As a result, those working in the tech industry can use their scale to provide insurance goods and services without duplicating some of the fees and expenses incurred by traditional insurance companies.
- According to IRDA(Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority), In India, there were 67 insurers in operation at the end of the last fiscal year. Out of these, five were independent health insurers, 27 were general insurers, and 24 were life insurers. 11 reinsurers, including branches of overseas reinsurers, were also present in the nation. Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) is the only company in the public sector that provides life insurance. In the non-life insurance business, there are six public sector insurers. In addition, the General Insurance Corporation of India is the only national reinsurer. Such a huge number of insurance firms will create an opportunity for the studied market to grow.
- Further, by 2029, Asia Pacific is estimated to account for 42% of global insurance premiums, with China's share forecast to be 20%, according to Swiss Re. The country is on course to become the largest insurance market by the mid-2030s. According to a report by Bain & Company, consumers in Asia-Pacific's developing markets are significantly underinsured, with one measure of insurance penetration, gross written premiums as a percentage of per-capita GDP, signaling a significant amount of unmet demand in Asia-Pacific's developing markets where penetration is less than 5% in India, mainland China, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
- The insurance distribution landscape is gradually evolving. In China, digital channels are becoming more prominent. In many Asia Pacific jurisdictions, consumers are open to having insurers provide ecosystem services. These digital insurance ecosystems are interconnected players forming sets of products and services that allow users to fulfill a variety of needs in one integrated experience. This is expected to augment the demand for a digital insurance platform.
- To meet the various demands of the customers and increase the market share, insurance firms in the region are investing in digitalization. For instance, this year, Warburg Pincus, a private equity (PE) firm, invested USD 350 million in equity to launch a digital general insurance platform in Southeast Asia. This is the business's largest investment in the region's insurance market.
