Sharing has become the new symbol of status. Lately, it’s not about owning the assets themselves but about having the ability to share assets and services. However, the business models of a shared economy are also associated with significant risks for employees and users. And while platforms usually see themselves as mediators, the users are also regularly exposed to risks.

In today’s sharing economy, a one-size-fits-all insurance policy is no longer sufficient. An onslaught of new technology is allowing insurers to become more efficient in their internal procedures while offering better products, with better risk measurement, for more demanding customers. Identifying a tailor-made approach that works for each individual remains crucial.

It is often a struggle to produce bespoke and new products for your markets without advanced predictive modelling to the main risk drivers. And without an experienced sparring partner who can help you calculate technical premium and an adequate rate (including scenario testing), it can oftentimes seem impossible.

New products, product variants and new markets,  product development offers insurers a great deal of potential. Identifying and developing these can put you ahead of the competition as long as you can answer the following questions:

• Am I offering the right products?
• Which new products would suit my portfolio?
• What will make my new products a success?
• Are my product marketing measures to the point?
• Is my product pricing structure correct?
