There is a need for huge investment in data analytics so that insurer can differentiate between a fraud and an actual claim, optimize claim outcomes and reduce risks
Need to be active on social media to address mass consumers
Growing number of insurers and hence threat from competitors
Set the rate of premium very carefully otherwise insurer can lose all his market share
Working under the regulatory initiatives framed by the government
Tax challenges for the insurers
Providing insurance in disaster prone areas is a big risk to insurers
Sometimes insurers approach reinsurers to share profits and risk
