Dramatic technological changes are reshaping the insurance industry, enabling it to scale beyond typical conventions of expectations.
FREMONT, CA: Insurtech is full of realizable hypothetical crystal balls contemplating into the future. Predictions of intermediating robot-driven marketing policies and human microchips supplying data to blockchain-supported underwriters are two potential innovations. Vast amounts of technology innovations are being tried and tested in the insurance world. Augmented Reality (AR) is one among the most notable trends that insurance industries will be adopting in the near future. Many insurance companies have already started testing AR in the ways they operate.

AR is on the spectrum between Virtual Reality (VR), which creates computer-generated environments, immersive, and the real world. It will empower insurers to intensify reality with graphics and other computer-generated synergistic tools. This has the potential to heighten customer experience levels and enhance efficiency throughout the insurance value chain. The succeeding big trend is the application of quantum computing, which will open up new data sets and provide insurers with a new approach to processing information.
Quantum computing will transform the way insurance companies carry out very complex calculations. It is going to be relevant in the world of actuaries. AR and quantum computing have a significant future in the insurance sector. Technology start-ups and insurtech enterprises are already formulating solutions and platforms around these ideas. As these new businesses make progress, compelling insurers actively prospect consolidation possibilities.
Big insurance firms are acquiring small innovative start-ups. The thinking behind this consolidation is effortless as organizations can offer a competitive advantage. Core insurance systems are being improved at scale to increase collaboration, optimize processes, and reduce costs. Financial and insurance services at large should be as simple as ordering a movie ticket online. Innovation is the key to transforming the financial services and the insurance industry to serve the digital generation.
