What happens when every company is an Insurer?
The Future of Embedded Insurance - A Strategic Shift for the Digital Age
In the evolving landscape of digital transformation, insurance is undergoing a seismic shift—moving beyond standalone products to being embedded within the everyday services that customers already use. As highlighted in a recent Boston Consulting Group (BCG) report, this transformation could reshape the entire industry, especially in the realm of property and casualty insurance. For bsurance, an innovator in the embedded insurance space, these trends confirm what we have long believed: the future of insurance lies in seamlessly integrating protection into non-insurance products and services.
The Shift to Embedded Insurance
BCG’s report outlines a fundamental shift to what it calls “insurance inside”—the blending of insurance products within non-insurance services. At bsurance, we have already embraced this vision, working with retailers, service providers, and other partners to offer embedded insurance that enhances customer experiences. Whether it’s an extended warranty for consumer electronics purchased online or a mobility insurance solution integrated with ride-sharing platforms, we see the potential for embedded insurance to add value in new and meaningful ways.
One key insight from the report is the ability of non-insurance companies to leverage insurance as a core component of their broader service offering. BCG argues that embedded insurance could control up to 25% of the property and casualty market in the near future. This means that for insurers like us, collaborating with non-insurance brands can be more than just another sales channel—it’s a way to help companies solve their customers’ challenges, from lowering churn rates to boosting loyalty through tailored insurance offerings.
Why Embedded Insurance Works for Customers and Partners
At bsurance, we believe that customers are increasingly looking for convenience and simplicity in their buying experiences. In today’s fast-paced digital world, no one wants to deal with separate transactions for the same product or service. Embedded insurance solves this by integrating protection directly into the customer’s journey, whether it’s a travel insurance offer at the point of booking or device protection bundled into a smartphone purchase.
But the real value extends beyond the end consumer. By embedding insurance into their offerings, our partners can unlock financial benefits such as increased customer retention and additional revenue streams. As BCG suggests, industries like automotive, telecommunications, and e-commerce are already realizing the upside of offering embedded insurance, driving demand while differentiating their services from the competition.
Learning for the Future: A Call for Agility and Innovation
BCG’s article urges insurers to rethink their operating models, and at bsurance, we fully align with this call to action. Non-insurance companies will expect their partners to offer more than traditional insurance products—they will demand tailored, real-time solutions that integrate seamlessly into their own digital ecosystems. To meet this challenge, insurers must embrace agility, flexibility, and a mindset shift from “selling products” to “enabling experiences.”
At bsurance, we are not just a provider of insurance solutions. We see ourselves as enablers of our partners’ success, helping them use insurance as a tool to solve broader business challenges. As highlighted in the BCG report, success in this new era will require insurers to move from B2B2C models to what BCG calls B4B2C—business for business-to-consumer—where we help businesses become more efficient insurers themselves.
Conclusion: The bsurance Advantage
The BCG report presents a clear roadmap for the future of embedded insurance: partnerships, technology integration, and customer-centricity are key. At bsurance, we are already at the forefront of this evolution, empowering non-insurance companies to embed protection solutions seamlessly into their products and services. By embracing the changes ahead, we are helping to redefine the insurance landscape—offering value not only to our customers but also to our partners.
For businesses looking to unlock the potential of embedded insurance, now is the time to act.
