<strong>Online</strong> aggregators have become a growing phenomenon in the global<br />

insurance industry<br />

The online aggregator model is a success story for personal insurance<br />

lines in the UK insurance industry. After just a decade of coming into<br />

existence, online aggregators now account for 60% of new motor<br />

insurance policies and 50% of personal insurance lines. The growth trend<br />

is similar in other European markets such as Germany, France, Sweden,<br />

Spain, Italy, Ireland and the Netherlands. Although online aggregators<br />

are highly successful in the UK and other key European economies, they<br />

are yet to achieve similar success in other parts of the world. The<br />

American and Asia-Pacific regions provide growth opportunities for online<br />

aggregators over the next five to 10 years, and online aggregators have<br />

already established footholds in key markets such as the US, Canada,<br />

Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and India.


The emergence of online aggregators is one of the largest risks to<br />

leading insurers and brokers<br />

The rise of online aggregators has radically changed how personal<br />

insurance lines are marketed. The sale of insurance products and<br />

services through online aggregators has now become a challenge for<br />

leading insurers. <strong>Online</strong> aggregator model has led to price-based<br />

competition and reduced profitability for insurers. Large insurers with<br />

well-established brands are the biggest losers in the online aggregatordominated<br />

market, whereas smaller insurers are the biggest<br />

beneficiaries. Brand dilution, and falling rates of customer retention,<br />

market share and profitability are key challenges faced by leading<br />

insurers due to the emergence of online aggregators. Smaller insurers,<br />

low-cost providers and new entrants have benefitted from rising pricebased<br />

competition and access to a wider customer base.

The addition of a new distribution channel for personal lines of insurance<br />

is also a direct threat to insurance brokers. Motor and home insurance in<br />

many European markets, including the UK, Germany, France and Italy,<br />

have transformed from a decades-old broker-led market to an online<br />

aggregator-led market in less than a decade. A similar trend is also<br />

expected in other key world economies in the next five to 10 years.<br />

High rates of internet and smartphone penetration driving the growth of<br />

online aggregators<br />

More than half the world’s population is expected to have internet access<br />

and own smart mobile devices by 2018, and this trend is significantly<br />

changing consumer buying behavior. The ever-growing use of social


media is also making customers more internet-aware, and consumers<br />

are using multiple channels to purchase insurance products, with<br />

growing numbers using online channels to make purchase decisions.<br />

<strong>Online</strong> aggregators are particularly attractive to these consumers and<br />

their changing buying behaviors. Convenience, ease of use, access to the<br />

best deals, and one-stop shopping are key factors that attract<br />

consumers to online aggregators.<br />

Fraudulent applications and strong competition are key challenges for<br />

online aggregators<br />

<strong>Online</strong> aggregators are an easy gateway for fraudulent insurance<br />

activity, which is a key concern for insurers. <strong>Online</strong> quote generation<br />

makes it easy for customers to understand the impact of different<br />

answers on product pricing, encouraging customers to provide


inaccurate information to bring prices down. This is resulting in poor<br />

underwriting performance.<br />

The online aggregator market is highly competitive, with low entry<br />

barriers. <strong>Online</strong> aggregators face intense competition from other<br />

aggregators, insurers not participating in online aggregator model, and<br />

other distribution channels such as direct sales, brokers and agencies.<br />

New communication and distribution channels such as social media also<br />

offer competitive challenges. Insurers across the world are investing in<br />

mobile technology and social media to strengthen their distribution<br />

channel; 58% of insurers surveyed by Accenture in 2013 are developing


mobile sales and distribution channel, whereas 35% are developing sales<br />

and distribution channel through social media.<br />

Insurers can choose either to engage with online aggregators, or tackle<br />

them head-on<br />

Insurers can use the rise of online aggregators to increase sales and<br />

profitability. Offering products through online aggregators will require<br />

insurers to excel at underwriting, and offer products at the right price to<br />

remain competitive with adequate margins. Insurers will need to invest<br />

in data analytics and technical underwriting, and take advantage of the<br />

large quantities of customer data available through online aggregators,<br />

to achieve customized prices and product offerings, which are key<br />

success factors in an increasingly aggregator-dominated market.<br />

Withdrawing from the online aggregators channel or directly competing<br />

with online aggregators are challenging positions for insurers and<br />

brokers. Long-term growth can be achieved through product innovation


and branding strategies and insurers should use technology and social<br />

media to gain a competitive advantage by strengthening distribution,<br />

improving underwriting, and strengthening customer relationships in<br />

order to successfully compete with online aggregators. Insurers are<br />

equipping their sales agents with smartphones and tabs preloaded with<br />

customized apps to speed up sales process. Social media is used by<br />

insurers and brokers to promote their products and engage with<br />

customers through various campaigns and utility apps. Insurers also<br />

have to focus on cross-selling and up-selling to remain profitable.<br />
