7. 2021 Insurtech Expert View

8. 2021 Insurtech investment and startup prediction
Prediction: Insurtech VC investment will revert to higher levels
driven by insurance distribution marketplaces and
intermediaries in 2021.
Rationale: VC investment into insurtech companies slowed down in 2020 after years
of growth. We largely attribute this slowdown to the COVID-19 pandemic as the
broader insurance industry faced unprecedented losses. However, the pandemic also
spurred the acceleration of digital transformation within the industry, as insurers
increasingly relied on online and digital services to engage and sell to customers,
underwrite and service policies, and settle claims. Insurtech companies will likely
benefit from this acceleration.
Caveat: Incumbent insurers that invest in insurtech companies could pull back
capital if claims and reimbursements related to COVID-19 severely affect net profits.
Additionally, insurers that typically partner with insurtechs could choose to develop
technologies in-house as they become more technologically proficient.
