Rintu Patnaik, an Insurtech expert based in India, wrote: Data Partnerships Reshape Commercial Risk Underwriting
Data partnerships have been in existence awhile. The size of the global alternative data market is slated to top $17.4 billion by 2027 at 40.1% CAGR. This growth has multiple implications for insurers who lack the means to harness large data stores. Benefits range from new markets access to augmented customer experiences. Underwriters gain more ways to unlock the value of data and push decision making to the point-of-sale. In the post-pandemic environment, improving underwriting performance is imperative, being one of two key traits (along with pricing sophistication) that industry leaders have in common.
Editor note: Rintu shines a light on data partnerships for both Insurance (Underwriting) data and external to Insurance such as Health data.
