But what does this mean for the industry? FinTech Global spoke to a number of industry experts to find out.

With the advent and widespread adoption of technologies such as machine learning (ML) and generative AI, the InsurTech sector is expected to face tighter regulatory boundaries in 2024. But what does this mean for the industry? Global FinTech I spoke to many industry experts to find out.

The InsurTech space is poised for significant regulatory change in 2024 as emerging technologies and market dynamics continue to reshape the insurance landscape. Experts anticipate a wave of new regulations aimed at addressing key areas such as data protection, cybersecurity, and the ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI). These evolving regulatory trends are expected to impact companies in the InsurTech ecosystem, requiring proactive adaptation and strategic responses.

Speaking to FinTech Global, Aaron Wright, Chief Strategy Officer at Winsuggested that the regulatory landscape for InsurTech is evolving alongside technological advancements and ever-changing market dynamics.

“Going forward, the regulatory landscape for InsurTech is expected to continue to evolve in response to technological advances and market dynamics. As InsurTech companies continue to integrate more sophisticated technologies like AI and large language models, they will need to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment. For example, AI applications in insurance, from underwriting to claims processing, present new challenges around data privacy, ethical use, and transparency.

“Regulators are still developing the rules in these areas, with the aim of striking a balance between innovation, consumer protection and market stability. InsurTech companies must remain agile and adapt to new regulations as they emerge to ensure compliance and maintain their competitive advantage,” Wright said.

He’s not alone in assessing the current state of the industry. James Harrison, global head of insurance at Dun & Bradstreet echoed his sentiment, explaining that as technology advances, so will the guidelines within which InsurTechs can operate.

Harrison said: “As organisations increasingly rely on digital platforms and data analytics, regulators are likely to introduce stricter guidelines governing the collection, storage and use of sensitive customer data. Regulations focused on the transparency and fairness of algorithms could have a particular impact on InsurTech companies that rely heavily on data-driven decision-making.”

But why has it become such a big problem?

In a sentence, because the need to gain a competitive advantage is so high. To go further, according to a study by McKinsey & CompanyHaving strong data and analytics capabilities has become essential in the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry.

Top performers are significantly outpacing their competitors by developing advanced underwriting capabilities based on data and analytics, which deliver significant advantages.

For example, leading insurers are seeing improvements such as a three to five point improvement in loss ratios, a 10 to 15 percent increase in new business premiums, and a 5 to 10 percent increase in retention in profitable segments, all attributed to digitized underwriting.

While this is just a microcosm of a much larger problem, the trend is clear. Technology, automation and AI are paving the way for a more efficient future in the sector.

The difficulty is that regulators are still formulating regulations in these areas, struggling to strike a balance between promoting innovation, protecting consumers and maintaining market stability.

The challenge of raising the regulatory bar

As a result, the challenge of meeting the regulatory bar is daunting in this sector. As technological innovations continue to reshape the insurance industry, InsurTech companies find themselves at the intersection of transformative change and regulatory scrutiny.

With the integration of sophisticated technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics, InsurTech companies are pushing the boundaries to improve customer experience and operational efficiency.

But this comes with increased scrutiny, having to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory framework.

As regulators struggle to keep pace with technological advancements, InsurTech companies must quickly adapt to changing regulatory standards while maintaining their commitment to innovation and customer centricity.

This is even more vital when you consider that instances of non-compliance or data breaches can seriously undermine customer trust, leading to monstrous reputational damage.

Harrison explained: “As we have seen in the past, instances of non-compliance or data breaches could erode customer trust, which could damage the reputation of the companies involved and lead to loss of business. This could be a double-edged sword, with new regulations increasing costs for businesses but also potentially undermining consumer trust in InsurTech companies due to non-compliance.”

Another factor that should worry businesses as they consider tightening restrictions is startups. Many of these young, incumbent companies will not yet have a real foothold in the sector, and cash-strapped businesses may not have the resources to respond to rule changes.

Meeri Savolainen, founder and CEO of INZMOwas one of many industry experts to highlight this point, explaining: “Companies can find it challenging to comply with these diverse and evolving regulations, especially smaller startups that don’t have the resources of larger companies. Adapting to strict data protection laws requires robust cybersecurity measures and transparent data handling practices, which can be costly and complex. Similarly, regulations around the ethical use of AI may require significant adjustments to existing algorithms and business models to ensure fairness and accountability.”

Janthana Kaenpreakhamroy, CEO and founder of Tapoly agreed with the assessment that smaller carriers could see their days numbered due to the potential wave of regulations to come, saying “smaller players may struggle to meet the stringent requirements, opening the door to mergers and acquisitions.”

She stopped short of saying that potential upcoming regulations would have a negative impact on the industry, however – she even said that stricter legislation could help bring about a more secure future.

Kaenpreakhamroy said: “This period of adjustment also presents an opportunity for growth. Increased consumer confidence, driven by improved transparency and security, could expand the market for InsurTech services. In conclusion, while the 2024 regulatory landscape poses significant challenges for the InsurTech sector, it also offers an opportunity to strengthen the foundations of the sector, fostering a safer, more compliant and more consumer-friendly environment.”

How can you keep pace with impending changes?

Change is certainly afoot in this industry, but adapting and staying ahead of the curve is the real litmus test for insurers moving forward.

To address these challenges, carriers must invest in compliance tools and expertise to effectively manage regulatory risks.

A key area where a difference can be made is at board level, as Harrison explained.

“The new regulations require a specific approach and greater accountability from board members to stay compliant,” he said. “Many boards have formed dedicated committees to navigate the complex regulatory landscape and combat increasing scrutiny. These committees are tasked with ensuring that appropriate governance frameworks are in place to oversee regulatory compliance, as non-compliance results in significant regulatory fines, not to mention reputational damage.”

Integrating intelligent data and automation is critical for compliance teams as they navigate regulatory challenges. By leveraging these technologies, teams can efficiently manage incoming updates, quickly adjust compliance measures, and eliminate the need for time-consuming and resource-intensive reviews.

In doing so, they can optimize their organization – and avoid wasting time, or worse, falling apart altogether.
