As established insurers modernize their infrastructures with digital solutions to enhance everything from claims management to policy customization, newer, agile firms are intensifying competition with streamlined, user-friendly platforms.One of the most transformative shifts in Canada's insurance landscape is the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics, which are helping insurers create more personalized offerings. By leveraging AI-driven algorithms and advanced data analysis, companies can now assess risk profiles more accurately and tailor policies to individual needs. Predictive analytics are also playing a role, helping insurers to anticipate customer needs and proactively suggest policy updates, which fosters greater loyalty and retention.Meanwhile, the introduction of self-service tools and chatbots is changing how customers interact with their insurance providers. From filing claims to adjusting policies, customers can now manage nearly every aspect of their insurance through intuitive online portals or mobile applications. This shift toward self-service not only meets consumers' growing demand for convenience but also allows insurers to allocate resources more effectively, focusing on complex claims or high-value cases that require personalized attention.The projected growth in the Canadian insurance market is estimated to expand from approximately CA$ 133.7 billion in 2024 to CA$ 140.6 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of about 7.18 percent.
