Future Shock: 2020 and Beyond; Insurance Industry Trends, Challenges and Opportunities

This PowerPoint report explores the trends, challenges and opportunities in the global insurance and reinsurance industries for 2020 and beyond. The presentation begins with defining the five major categories for external global risks and discusses their corresponding insurance solutions, and states that insurance is able to manage most. It further defines the top three disruptive forces in insurance as economic events, capital markets and political events. While globalization creates opportunity and wealth, it also potentially creates and amplifies risk. As such, the report discusses the nexus of opportunity, risk and instability and outlines how the greatest opportunities often lie in the riskiest areas. The presentation also explores industry financials, providing an in-depth analysis on industry growth and consequently, investing, and looks at the impact of 2016 being an election year, the investment climate and what might be ahead for interest rates. It concludes with special sections on technology and other industry disruptors, including cyberrisk, the sharing economy, the internet of things and the growing areas of FinTech and insurance tech.
