The traditionally stable P&C personal lines insurance industry has been shaken up due to the pandemic. At the beginning, there were dramatic changes in customer behaviors and patterns, seismic shifts in claim volumes, and rapidly changing customer expectations. Each forced carriers to rethink their technology plans. Beginning in April 2020, SMA began conducting a series of market pulse polls aimed at assessing how personal lines carrier strategies and plans have shifted over time. The most recent poll was conducted in May of this year.
This SMA market pulse report begins by examining how carriers have adapted throughout the pandemic in terms of digital transformation. The report then examines how the pandemic has reshaped strategies and plans in various spheres such as payments, customer experience, and workforce planning.
