The Business Challenge: How COVID-19 Has Transformed the Financial Industry

The impact of COVID-19 on global financial markets is primarily felt through asset risks, market volatility, and declining premium growth prospects. Developed insurance market segments, including home insurance, life insurance, and travel insurance, are likely to shrink due to the economic slowdown. Due to many such pandemic-induced challenges, banking and insurance service providers are now looking to ramp up their transformation efforts by conducting an in-depth market trends analysis to stay focused on data security and regulation while fending their business from cyberattacks.

Top challenges facing the banking and insurance industry based on our market research:

  • Stable capital levels are poised to position forward-looking insurance companies to thrive in the new normal
  • The pandemic will prompt BFSI firms to quickly respond to megatrends using market trends analysis
  • The COVID-19 outbreak impacted all lines of business within the financial services market, prompting businesses to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives
  • Higher mortality rates dues to COVID-19 are affecting the bottom lines and business processes in the insurance industry

As a result, BFSI companies are struggling to meet their cost of capital, and business efficiency has barely improved over the past decade. While some lines of business have witnessed years of steady top-line growth, the life insurance and travel insurance segment in mature markets have been impacted by the pandemic.

Therefore, as leading banking and insurance companies struggle to sustain growth, the pressure to boost business performance is becoming a top priority. Unlike other industries that have leveraged market trends analysis to capitalize on their investments, the insurance industry hasn’t witnessed a measurable improvement in the past five years. Adopting a more structural, financial market trends-based approach to business process redesign is required at the moment to move the needle and future-proof the business.
