EIOPA published its 7th Consumer Trends Report

EIOPA published its seventh Consumer Trends Report, which outlines key developments in the insurance and pensions sectors impacting European consumers.

Main findings of the report include:

    • The continued digitalisation of the insurance and pension sector affecting the whole life-cycle of a product continues as an important trend;
    • The use of telematics in health as well as motor insurance is increasing;
  • On-demand products are increasingly being brought to market alongside an increase in cross-selling of insurance with other products, such as add-on travel insurance when buying plane tickets;
  • The longstanding shift from guaranteed to non-guaranteed products continues in the insurance and pension sector.
