The predictive analytics market earned a recommendation to prioritize, given its high market momentum and industry leader activity.
Predictive analytics uses statistical modeling and artificial intelligence methods to complement the actuarial approach, offering a more forward-looking view. This technology analyzes internal and external data sources to identify patterns and connections that are not discoverable by human cognition alone.
P&C insurers can use predictive analytics to augment existing actuarial models and provide more personalized underwriting decisions.
Predictive analytics technology fundamentally alters and improves the way that insurance underwriting works — shifting assumptions away from backward-looking performance to predicting behavioral outcomes.
P&C insurers should prioritize investments in predictive analytics, whether those be internal, external, or a combination of both. Insurers have the option of using pre-built P&C insurance predictive analytics models or customizing their own models based on proprietary datasets.
