Broking
Insurance brokers remain an important conduit to enable placement of risk. While the broker market faces a common set of challenges, implications and responses vary by segment among global players, mid-tier broker and niche and specialist players. Internal challenges include an inability to drive revenue, high operational costs, a greater need for advanced tools and core system modernisation. Our insurance consulting experience across the broking value chain enables us to anticipate these challenges and best prepare the businesses for future success.
Competition and M&A
Pressure on prices and profitability from new market participants, consolidated players and competing channels (e.g., insurtechs and direct distribution by carriers/mutual companies).
Inflationary pressure
Rising claims, wage inflation and real estate costs in a hybrid-working environment, resulting in a higher cost to serve and impacting the strength of the bottom line.
Client demand
Increasing demand for greater value from products, services and client-facing capabilities (e.g., broker facilities, delegated authority).
Regulation
Regulatory changes and the evolution of compliance requirements, impact how market participants operate across the globe.
