Special report: The future of personal lines

Having grown up in the digital age, the next generation of insurance customers will have very different expectations to any that came before them. Understanding their needs, and adapting product and service propositions to meet them, will be a significant challenge for the insurance industry.

Just how much of a challenge was highlighted in the Personal Lines Survey 2019, conducted by Insurance Post on behalf of EXL. When asked how prepared they were to meet the needs of customers born since 2000 when they turned 25, just under 22% of insurance respondents said they were well prepared. And, while 41.8% said they were slightly prepared, 36.6% admitted they were either under prepared or not prepared at all.
